Re: is Bela het for spider? ;)
Actually the het for spider gene balls are the spider appearing animals. Heterozygous does not mean normal looking gene carrier, it just means having an unmatched pair of genes for whatever trait you are talking about. Since spider is a dominant type mutation even being het for the spider gene is enough to make a visible mutant looking ball.

Why do you feel the need to hijack every single post that even remotely brushes against your agenda and pollute it? Did you even look at the picture in the original post? How about starting your own threads for this junk instead of stealing others?

Re: is Bela het for spider? ;)
This isn't in response to the adam-randy heat-butting, but isn't spider a co-dom trait just like a pastel? So the resulting clutch from a Spider/Pastel x Normal would produce 50% spider/pastel and 50% normal?
Re: is Bela het for spider? ;)
The public still doesn't know if spider is co-dominant or completely dominant. It depends on if a homozygous spider is viable and if it is identical to a heterozygous spider (if yes to both it's completely dominant and if not it's co-dominant).
The reason that either spider or pastel X normal produces eggs which each have a 50% chance of being spider or pastel respectively is because the spider or pastel parent is a het. Being heterozygous means that they have an unmatched pair of genes. In this case one normal and one mutant. Each egg has a 50/50 chance of getting the mutant gene.
The fact that spider and pastel are both some sort of dominant type mutation just means that the hets are not normal looking. It's the heterozygous part that is important for figuring out the 50/50 ratio, just like with het albino X normal.

While that is true Randy, it still doesn't chnge the fact that the original question was is her snake Het for spider, or the answer that no it isn't... While it is a beautiful snake, it isn't a spider. You said yourself that no one has proven out a Super form of the spider mutation, so stating that a spider is in fact a Het, is pure speculation on your part and doesn't do much in the way of answering her question, wouldn't you agree? ;)
