Ghost Spider - Quick Q's

Hi

I'm planning to start breeding this next season. I have a normal female who's well above breeding weight, and [as of next week] a breeder spider male.

I was looking into getting a female breeder pastel, so I would have two clutches; norm x spider and spider x pastel, but now I'm considering going for ghost spiders instead of bees.

My questions:

1. (I'm sorry, I know Q's like this come up ALL the time) What would be the %s if I bred a spider to a visual ghost?

2. What would be the %s if I bred a spider to a DH ghost?

3. What are the prices of a ghost spider in comparison to a bee?



Thanks!

a spider to a ghost would be 50% spider het ghost 50% normal het ghost

I dont know much on DH's im not sure if theres such a thing as a DH ghost, wouldnt a DH have to be het ghost and something else?

as for the price, i have no clue, i havent seen any this year. Hopefully someone else has seen one and can help

Not sure of prices but the Honeybee (Spider Ghost) will cost more than a bee as it is a recessive/dominant gene combo. These take 2 generation to breed whereas bees can be produced first generation:gj:

Here in the UK, honeybees are about twice the price of bumblebees.

They are also much harder to come by.

So I would have to breed a spider het ghost to a ghost for a honeybee, right?

Thank you all!

Yes...You can also breed Spider 100% Het Hypo x 100% Het Hypo to produce a Honey Bee.

With a spider breeding a ghost, you should have half the babies come out spider het for ghost, and half the babies will be "just" het for ghost.

I'm not sure what you refer to as a DH ghost?

Honeybees are more expensive than bumblebees. They are pretty hot looking too! I've never seen a ugly honeybee!

same with me, honeybees are always amazing looking
i would think a spider het hypo would either be the same price or lower than a bumbee. some of the hets i see have outrageous price tags that you could afford the visual and make your own hets

Nerd was selling a Honeybee not too long ago for I believe 2250 but I am unsure of size and sex.

I almost picked up a Spider Het Hypo for my OG Male.

I <3 Honeybees!

What do you get if you cross two honeybees? A super honeybee? :P

Also, I keep getting mixed messages from various Classifieds areas; what is the average price for a female breeder pastel and a female breeder ghost?
