Generally ;)

It would be interesting if this were true, but I would think that Kev and Kara would have already tried for this considering as many spiders as they have produced?

Is he also breeding them to only virgin females to make sure he isn't getting something else from retained sperm? Does anyone know how long female ball pythons can retain sperm?

Hmm... I know that in humans, sperm dies after two days or so if it doesn't fertilize an egg... I'm guessing it wouldn't last a whole lot longer for snakes either. :confused:

Snakes can retain sperm a tad longer than that. ;) Some snakes have been reported to retain sperm for up to 7 years.

Nevermind then! :8: ;)

yep, homogeneous spider would be a "super spider". takes breeding to prove and that would be really annoying but worth it if you got one. this is how all dominant morphs are i think, but i could be wrong, im a noob :confused:

makes sense to me.

No doubts about retained sperm, I produced the females 3 years ago and they have never seen a male. :)
