Why risk losing a season of eggs from a spider female only to be the first to hatch ONLY a spider from that pairing. Just saying...

For some people money isn't the only value, there is value in knowledge. I would just say don't expect big breeders to be headlining the project. I don't expect to make money possibly proving out a homozygous pinstripe, but it's still cool :)

follow up to that was he was lying and didn't do the project like he said.

Brian from BHB has done it many times and has commented about it.

I remember a few others guys talked about it on their youtube channels as well

A recent snakebytes he shows off a 4 gene spinner and bred it with a bee or something.

I have a homo spider. Proven. Every clutch that's come out has 100% had the spider gene. My last clutch was a spider x pinstripe pairing and 4/5 eggs were spinner, 1 egg was spider. And her wobble is very subtle, no issues with her at all - she is very healthy
