you wouldnt get a killer bee. Killers are super pastel spiders and there is only one pastel gene available with this combo.

from my genetic calculator\\Male = Lesser, Spider
Female = Bumblebee

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
6.25% Normal
6.25% Lesser
12.50% Spider
12.50% Lesser, Spider
6.25% Pastel
6.25% Pastel, Lesser
12.50% Bumblebee
12.50% Queenbee
6.25% Homozygous Spider
6.25% Lesser, Homozygous Spider
6.25% Pastel, Homozygous Spider
6.25% Pastel, Lesser, Homozygous Spider


no killers:(

I thought some guy had a super spider male that he has bred off a few dozen times ith all offspring being bees...

Not that I remember reading about off hand (not that this means anything you understand :P ).

Could you be thinking about Brian from BHB having a possibly homozygous pinstripe?

its not the fact than anyone proved it, its the fact that spiders have been around for 10 years now, and still not 1 homozygous spider

your right. i forgot that there was no pastel in lesser bee. ha,ha. my bad.

Since a Spider is dominant, I think that homozygous Spider is just your regular Spider. I forgot where I read that there were Super Spiders, but they didn't survive in the egg?? Sometime in the future I'm going to do Spider x Spider and see what happens (I think I'll just get 75% Spiders and 25% normals).

A spider to spider would result in no normals.

Not sure I'm following you here?

I agree that a homozygous spider to ... well, frankly, anything... would result in no normals.

But with nobody so far having owned up to having a homozygous spider most people reading spider to spider in a breeding question would give the same answer Tif did by assuming both spiders were only heterozygous.

Where it gets intresting is that, if homozygous spiders do die before hatching, then even those results would be innaccurate and the real ratio of hatchlings from fertile eggs would be;

66.6% spider (heterozygous )
33.3% normal wild type

And to be honest I think finding those ratios in a statistically large sample and using ultrasound to compare number of unfertilized follicles and comparing it to the number of fertile eggs laid will be the only way we ever find out if homozygous spider is lethal or not.

I just wish I owned some to be able to try it for myself. :please:

To me a normal is a plain old normal like those sold in pet stores :gj:

Has anyone on here ever personally tried the spider x spider project?
