    Re: Albino bp + spider = albino spider?
    ok so here it goes. 100% het x 100% het = 25% albino, 50% Het, 25% normal.


    in your situation....if you wanted an albino spider you would need a spider, and an albino aka homozygous

    homo albino x homo spider = double het (not sure of percentages)

    you need to raise the double hets and prove those together inorder to achieve the double mutation. one in sixteen chance.


    If i am correct

    I am lost... you all have gotten me interested in genetics and morphs and what not. The last three days I have been reading everything I can get my hands on about it and my poor mind is boggled now. Thanks. j/k

    $15,000?????:O:O:O:O OMG that is crazy

    Wrong. There are no homo spiders or no one has been able to prove it yet. To get an albino spider you need to first breed a Spider and Albino.

    The offspring will be normal looking or spider looking, but all of them will be het for albino or every snake in the offspring has 1 albino gene. You need 2 albino genes for it to show in the phenotype.

    Now you take your Spider het albino and you breed it to an albino. Then you have a CHANCE at an Albino spider.

    this is becuase spiders are a dominant gene????? and albino is recessive?

    Re: Albino bp + spider = albino spider?
    No its because a lot of people believe that a homo spider is a lethal combo so the eggs never hatch or survive.

    No one has seriously tried to prove it because it is a waste of time. They can make much better combos than tying up a female for a year.

    I also believe spider is a Co-dom gene. That is why it can be shown in Bumblebees and many other spider morphs

    I'll make this easy for you And Me.. An albino (reccesive) x spider(dom) = Every baby in the clutch 100% het albino. Any Spider from this clutch bred to another animal carrying the albino gene will eventually produce an albino spider..

    An albino spider= Half reccesive half dom....
