Honestly it isn't that hard for me to envision one having failed to pop up solely on the basis of lack of production. AFAIK, most people with spiders and spider combos aren't breeding them to other spiders and spider combos simply because of the lack of potential new combos from that breeding. Even if it's true dominant, if you can't tell the homozygous from the heterozygous animals it doesn't quite seem worth it to me.

So, if not that many spider x spider breedings are being done, and there's only a 1 out of 3 chance that a spider from such a breeding will be homozygous in the first place -- added to the fact that not every snake breeder posts on forums routinely .......... I could see it happening.

I've only ever heard the one report of the homozygous pinstripe from BHB, but it's well accepted that pinstripe is true dominant simply based on that report.

... Then again, I could also easily envision that whatever defect causes spiders to be neurologic in heterozygous form causes early embryonic death in homozygous form.

... Man, do I geek out about this stuff! :rofl:

Here they are 3.2 spiders from a spider male to a normal female second year in a row that all eggs are spiders when bred to a normal female. I also noticed the pattern is extreme also.
Comments PLEASE

How about a picture of the male spider in question?

I will try to get one tommorow night for yah.

Good luck proving him out:) You should invest in a pastel girlfriend for him:D
