That's a really really cool normal. Absolutely loving that reduced pattern

I'm definitely pairing the dad with my axanthic female this coming season and hope for another awesome baby like that to hold back and get some wonderful looking axanthic babies in the future

If it is a recessive, both your male and female carry only one copy of the gene. If you breed your male to an axanthic none of the offspring will express the gene. Each offspring will be 50% het banded.

The dad that produced the nice normal was a spider

Does he wobble?

The baby or the dad ? Cause I haven't seen it in the babies yet but the dad does at times and goes all crazy and upside down

Let me try to explain that better. Your sire is Het Banded Spider. The dam is Het Banded. Because you crossed them you got Baby #1 Banded (assuming the reason it is reduced is a recessive gene), and Baby #4 Banded Spider.

If you take the sire and breed him to your axanthic your offspring would be:
1/4 Het Axanthic Het Banded Spider
1/4 Het Axanthic Spider
1/4 Het Axanthic Het Banded
1/4 Het Axanthic

If on the other hand you raised up Baby #4 (and it's male and Banded) and paired him with your axanthic female you'd get:
1/2 Het Axanthic Het Banded Spider
1/2 Het Axanthic Het Banded

You'd then have to cross those offspring to get an Axanthic Banded (hopefully Spider).

BTW I think Baby #2 and Baby #3 are Het Banded (from memory). I'd have to look at them again but they look like my two females who I think are Het Banded.
