    Which, is unlikely to ever happen, given that no one has produced a homozygous Spider to this point. Given what you said, n morph that is homozygous fatal would be considered dominant, correct?

    As of now, they are a dominant morph only.
    Only if they meet the above criteria would they be considered co-dominant.


    You don't happen to work at Slither and Swim....................do you?:D

    How would you tell if you have a homozygous spider? You would have to breed to spiders together and then breed all of the babies to normals and hope to get all spiders? That would take a ton of time...probably why it hasnt been done.

    Ummm... huh :D? You breed a Spider to a normal. If it's homozygous, you'll produce ALL Spiders. If it's not, you'll end up with normals and Spiders. To date, no one has produced a known homozygous Spider.
