    Is it possible to produce spider hatchlings without spider parents?

    Short answer is yes... sort of.

    I'm not sure how many people have seen this or thought about this before but I just thought I'd share this. I've always thought the woma mutation was basically spider without the white sides. Looking at Eric's post (https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...r-Yellow-Belly) got me wondering what would happen if you combined the white sides of a sugar/calico with the spider pattern of a woma. Sure enough you get an animal that is phenotypically very similar to a spider.

    Note: To anyone curious womas wobble just like spiders so this isn't a way to get a spider without any wobble. It's just something I found pretty interesting!
