P.s. I've heard a great way to get a female off of mice is to wait til she lays eggs. She will be famished and will be ready to eat just about anything (after a tub cleaning of course). I've heard of this working very successfully
Are you Eileen? I saw that post on FB and thought it looked familiar.
I also agree with that method. Got my picky girl on f/t that way. About two months ago she started only eating live again. I feel some pretty decent follicles in her!
Re: I'm doing Spider x Spider
Yup I am! Sounds like your girl is working to go for you this year. Can't wait to see the results
Re: I'm doing Spider x Spider
I always see this but no one ever breeds a normal spider to a normal spider they always have multi gene animals if you want to try and prove this out get 2 normals single gene spiders 1 male 1 female that's what I'm doing I'm just waiting for my female to be of size

Using gene combos doesn't dampen your chances if you are trying to make a super, it just gives you better off spring in case you don't. I'm not trying for a super, I just wanted to have a higher number of spiders in the clutch. Breeding a regular spider to a spider would only give me normals and spiders. That does nothing for me

My only thing is what if you do produce a super and it's mixed in with other genes how are you going to tell? That's why I want to do just spider to spider that way whatever spiders do come out I won't have to sit and guess just keep em and breed them back to normals to see if I'd get all spiders

You tell by doing the exact same thing with the Spider combos. :gj:
Re: I'm doing Spider x Spider
Yup like Eric said. There are 2 theories. 1: the super is all white so as long as you don't use 2 bel complex balls then you will be fine or 2: the super looks no different from the regular spider gene which means you won't be able to pick out the super regardless. If you use combos you will at least be able to sell what you don't keep. Clutch after clutch of normals and spiders? No thanks

I'm less interested in producing a super spider and more interested in breeding a Spider x Spider combo with viable results. I love spider gene, so I would love to have a lot of spider combo hatchlings. I'm still trying to hatch a Lesser bee and Bumble bee, the odds were never on my side. I would never breed a single gene to a single gene (unless it was a new gene or trying to prove a project), as I don't want a bunch of normals and single gene babies.
Re: I'm doing Spider x Spider
See if u love spiders then it shouldn't bother you I have 6 spiders and 3 are normal because last year just because I love them I bred my spider to normal and all the spiders sold as soon as they came out of the egg and the normals didn't take longer then a month to be claimed so normals and spiders don't bother me the fun is in the breeding and surprises that come along the way :) but my multi gene spider project is a spider mojave to a pastel special I'm going for crystal bumble bees but everybody is different and wish u luck in hitting those odds
