I thought the number brian gave me was 27 eggs so thats over 1 in a hundred million.
Re: Spiders and pinstripes
TSK gave numbers on a couple of spider X spider clutches. I remember at one point they were running right about 1/4 small eggs that didn't hatch. It was a small sample size and could have just been luck/bad luck. Last I heard they were planning to breed all the hatchlings looking for a homozygous spider starting last year or the year before I think.

The odds of this are 0.78125% if the spider parent is heterozygous. The odds are 100% if the spider parent is homozygous.
