    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Help identifying some new hatchlings please!

Need to clarify.... I see the probable combo of Spider Black pastel. I don't see spider mojave in those at all. I've hatched quite a few of them. Just haven't hatched any black pastel spiders.
 
Mojave spiders are practically yellow so you'd know if you hit one. Spider combos can be difficult in general though. Any chance you have a full clutch pic? Usually comparing siblings makes it easier.
 
MCMB, clutch pic above. obviously the top two are a black pastel and a mojave. Fill in the blanks on the rest? the 2 in the middle look like a spider (left) and a black bee (right) to me. then the bottom 2 are ????? HELP
 
My vote is what you said. Top two are obvious, middle left spider, middle right black bee, bottom left Mojave spider, bottom right Mojave spider black pastel. Crazy, looks like you hit one of everything except a normal lol.
 
Could you post after shed pics? That bottom right one is throwing me off, I really don't see spider. And the spider mojave has a strange look to it as well. Was there a possibility of a dual sired clutch?
