I think something isn’t quite adding up with this pairing. Every offspring from the listed parents should be pastel mojave at the very least.
At a glance with these little guys I’m seeing:
- Super mojave (super?) pastel
- pastel mojave spider
- pastel super mojave (possible leopard)
- pastel spider??
- Super mojave (super?) pastel
- Super mojave (super?) pastel
The BEL offspring may have other genes. The way the head is tilted on #1 makes me think spider could be in that one. #3 has a yellow stripe that reminds me of what happens in a super mojave with enchi, so my guess why here is leopard. But the only way to be sure is by having them shed tested for leopard, calico/sugar or spider. If you really want yo know if they’re super pastel or not then pastel as well.
4 is a snake that I don’t see possible in this pairing…so it really has me wondering if the genes on the parents are correct or if there was a potential other father involved somewhere

Christina is correct that you will likely need shed testing to help determine complete identification in the BluEL animals. A blacklight may also help in some of them
Tentative IDs are as follows
- SuperMojave Pastel Spider (the characteristic head tilt is pretty much a give away but I can also see a faint patterning that is pretty telling)
- Pastel Spider
- SuperMojave Pastel
- Mojave Pastel Spider (this one will brighten up a little after it sheds its baby skin)
- SuperMojave Pastel poss Leo poss Spider
- SuperMojave Pastel poss Leo poss Spider
The light heads on the last two are clear indication that something else is in there but I cannot see anything that tells one way or another whether it is Leo or Spider (e.g., head tilt or patterning like I can see in animal #1, a blacklight may help on these if you can see patterning characteristic of either of the other morphs)

This one I thought spider. I agree it should look more pastel after a shed, but would the difference from 2 just polygenic? (I assume missed typing Mojave there)
I almost wondered if the super mojo parent was possibly a different bel gene…?
Otherwise the only other thing I think can be said is mom didn’t look to pass on Sugar unless she hit on the BEL genes. So I would say she’s still not confirmed sugar

Mojave can be really subtle in Spider combos. In a lot of cases it is less about colour and more about pattern that are the defining characteristic.

Dad has the Sugar gene, not Mom.
Might want to correct that then

I do not see Sugar in any of these offspring
