What do you guys think of the name 'Jaguar' for my little project?

One of three females

The male

Looking good Kieran -)

Personally I would wait with the namegiving until it has proved out

But they are some good looking babies.

You're right guys - I'll saves the names for a later date.

Those are some nice looking hoggies. While it is an interesting "blush" spot on their spots, I agree with Mark, you should really try and prove these snakes out before attaching a name to them. This seems to be a current trend, naming "morphs" before they are even proven. I think this only obfuscates the hobby that much more than it helps it. Don't worry, if you are the first to prove them out as something unique, then the honor of naming them will be all yours.

According to Kevin Rhodes, this blushing might be indicative of the specimens being lesser spiders. Then again, it might be a totally different genetic trait altogether or it could be nothing at all.

It's best to keep accurate records about the lineage of such a project so you can determine if this is a polygenic trait or a heritable trait.

Good luck with your project!

I remember you hatching these out last year, looking forward to seeing what they produce! Adam

I actually hatched them out this year - just quite early! I got eggs in Jan and Hatchlings mid March.
