Re: BP combos!
Spiders, pinstripes, spinners, pastels, and bees are a possibility. The rest depends upon if you plan on proving your spider male as a true het albino.

Ditto
IF the spider is a het for albino you will have to breed it with another het (100% would be your best bet, another poss het would be really tough to hit the odds on) to even get a chance at any albinos. Or you could breed an albino to your spider-again for possibility of ablinos-all babies would be 100% hets regardless if your het is an actual het.

You have a pretty good starting group; I'd probly replace the normal female with a het. albino or visual albino if your financial situation allows for it and try and prove out your male

Re: BP combos!
Proving him out would be a really good financial investment. Female albinos seem to be going for $500-$700, pairs of hets for $225-300. If you decide to go with a het female, go for a pair of het albinos. It seems like there are a few breeders that will sell a female for around $200 and then throw in a male for an extra $25-50. Not a terrible ideal, just in case your spider proves not to be a het.
However, odds of proving him out are better with an albino (50%). Odds of proving him out with a het female are about 25%.
