Never. Spider x spider pairings have been done often and for a long time, and the 33% normals (note that i didnt say 25%) you get from a spider x spider pairing do not show any issues. If you see from looking at the hatchling that it has no spider gene, thats it, it doesnt have the gene so it wont wobble. (unless it has another wobbly gene in it).

You are sure about that? I know that corns can, because I've had females do that. And cats and dogs will resorb fetuses as well in the first trimester.

There are no mechanisms within the oviduct to allow them to be reabsorbed after ovulation.
Are you sure you aren't mistaking building/swelling for the actual ovulation?

With mammals it's a whole different situation. The embryo/fetus is attached to the uterus.

I have been reading on this site for almost a year now and have learned ALOT. So I think im ready to start putting my 2 cents in :D so here it is.

1st - Could the norm female just have been a really bad looking spider kinda like a really ugly person ?
2 - Is it possible that the spider gene from the wild carried all these bad traits like the head wobble and over time from captive breeding it has just been bred out? A small step of evolution from the spiders?

That is true, a recessive gene cannot dominate a dominant gene, but a co-dominant gene can mask or alter another co-dominant gene. Like with flowers when you breed red roses with white roses and get pink roses.

i think this whole thread is based on: FAKE. i do not believe the pairings this thread is based on ever occured.

so i think this whole thread is garbage, and based on false information.

EDIT: also its a revived zombie thread
