I will keep at least Clyde and Parker, which is the male and female I have now. The babies I will just have to see what pops out! I am hoping that since Bonnie is 100% reduced and banded and Clyde is almost completely reduced, but for one spot, that I can get some truly beautiful reduced spiders from the clutch.
As for the het... I am going to be looking for a visual albino female probably to breed him with to up my chances of producing some visual babies. Its one of the many things I will be keeping an eye out for when I go to the reptile expo this weekend. :D

I have thought about doing some albino spiders, I think they are really awesome, that would be a long way down the road though. I have many a project I am set to be working on lol.
Yeah albino spiders would take a while to make. Cause first you would have to get your albino and say it was even big enough to mate when you got it, then have to produce a male and female, then wait for them to get big enough to mate for what a 3-16 chance of an albino spider. So yea they can be a pain to make. Gotta love recessive genes!!! It unfortunate for me that everything I love in BPs has recessive genes involve and in some cases double recessive genes. Albino, axanthics, pieds, ghosts......

I just don't have any pieds of even het pieds yet... nor do I have yellow bellies, axanthics, or cinnies! lol. I need to get a move on! I will get there, I know I will... it just might take a little time lol.
Yeah I want to make snow balls, true ghosts, axanthic pieds and I wont even get into the other 1-16 chance morphs I would love to have plus all the different type of bees I want and BELs. I need to stop now before I plan the next 10 years of owning BPs. But hey a guy can dream right?:D
