Bee x Bee
What are the resaults of breeding a male Bee to a female Bee?
-
Re: Bee x Bee
You wont know for sure til you breed.
But what you can get are these
bumbles,killerbees,pastels,normals, and spiders:)

Re: Bee x Bee
Potential results:
normals
pastels
spiders
super-pastels
bees
killer-bees
So far as I've ever heard, there are no super-spiders...so that particular genetic trait and combos with it are not included on the list.

Re: Bee x Bee
Also, just adding on, just because there isnt one yet, doesnt mean that there isnt a super spider. Mainly because not many people want to waist a breeder sized spider female on another spider, I personally would want to go for a proved combo.

Have fun trying to tell with one is the super.

I thought that there was a big thread on super spiders. If I'm not mistaken, the super spider dies in the egg or shortly after hatching. Right?

Re: Bee x Bee
Also, it is possible (though not definitively proven) that the homozygous ("super") spider is actually lethal (dies in the egg, or gets reabsorbed, or what have you). If that turns out to be true, then, in theory, any spider x spider breeding may produce 25% fewer eggs than that female would be otherwise capable of producing.

... And this is why I wouldn't want to do a spider x spider breeding, even if it isn't homozygous lethal. Those homozygous spiders may be extremely valuable genetically, but not if you can't tell 'em apart!

Correct it is a lethal gene that we know so far.

Exactly my point;) Who knows though, BHB I think is the one who may or may not have a super pinstripe, but I have not heard any updates yet on that.
