wow...what are the odds

I had 4 clutches this season 3 of which have hatched and so far 2 of the 3 clutches had multiple sires. This is my best clutch of the 3 that have hatched. It was a 2 year old spider female that laid 8 eggs. She was bred to a pastel male and mojo male. Of the 8 eggs I got 1 bumblebee, 2 mojo bees, 2 pastels, 2 normals and 1 spider!!!! Now thats variety!! I was really excited about the bumblebee because thats the snake that got me into the hobby to begin with, but the mojo bees are NICE TOO! My camera and camera skills are not great, but enjoy the pics.

Ok, so how would you get a mojo bee out of this breeding?

The female was a spider and there were 2 fathers to this clutch. One father was a pastel and one was a mojave.

When you say mojo bee, you mean mojo, pastel, and spider all in 1 right? There's no way both males could have fathered the same baby. There's no way to get all 3 genes into the same baby.

No...when I say mojo bee I mean mojave spider. I just don't know what theyre called since theres not many around. I just called it a bee because most combination morphs done with a spider are called bees. Lesser bee (lesser x spider), ect. Sorry for the confusion. Regardless of what it's called I'm proud of the snake. Thanks
