The reason I ask is because I produced two spider het albinos last year that ended up being lighter in color than the average spider and a few breeders that I've talked to have noticed the same thing. Was curious if it affected any other morphs.

You use pA and pa, why such a difference?

I used P for pastel and A for albino, their just variables, I've never read kevins book so I don't know whats in it, but he most likely just used a standard variable and stuck with it so the reader would not get lost. you can use what ever you want, there's no standard for it. I could get into discussion about how each set of letter represents a different locus and alleles and blah blah blah, but ill wait for your head to stop spinning first :P
