I hate to rain on your parade, but the chances of you guys actually becoming "big" breeders is very small. Especially the way the economy is now. I don't agree with the way you're keeping those ball pythons, either. Maybe you wouldn't have to force feed them if you had them in a proper set-up.

Isn’t a spider a dominate not a co-dominate mutation? Also, isn’t a genetic strip another recessive mutation on its own, not just a snake with a good dorsal strip?

I thought spider was co-dom, but I'm not all up to date with genetics so don't quote me lol

Spiders are dominant mutations, there is such a thing as a super Spider but has no visual difference from a regular Spider and can take 3 years to prove out. Most breeders don't really care to prove them out anyway (takes way too long).

Who's proven out a super spider? I don't believe that anyone has. I know that Brian may have a super pin that is visually no different than any other pin, but I'm not personally aware of anyone who has come out and stated unequivocally that they have proven a super spider.

wow thats interesting... i would like to look into super spiders in the future, so i can get full clutches of spiders... For now, well, next season (2009), im breeding, our spider to a normal female, to get half a clutch of spider hopefully, i will never do spider x spider, because of the higher chance of passing on the wobble head trait... I believe if you breed a spider to something besides a spider it gives it a less chance of getting the wobble head trait :confused: but dont quote me on it because im not to sure if im lying or not :) but i know most bumble bees dont have it, because they are only 50% spider.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the super spider hasn't been proven yet? it's all speculation as of right now.

Hmmm, well, he doesn't state who has proved a super spider. Whereas Brian of BHB has stated he believes that he has a super pin as every clutch thrown by a particular animal produced all pins. No one (that I'm aware of) has made the same claim about a super spider. That linked post sounds more like speculation than conclusive evidence.

this is not true you can have spider that has a severely bad wobble, and his hatchlings could show no sign at all. Same goes with a spider who shows no signs at all could produce a clutch of spiders with wobbles. Hope this helps!:)
