    genetic ?
    ok so another genetic question, i know you can breed two differnt male morphs to the same female and potentilly get each morph in the clutch, but what exactlly is the precent, like a super pastel male and fire male to the same spider female, or is it impossible to know the odds cause you dont know if the female used sperm from each male, shed the light anyone?

    It's hard to say, cause there is no telling which potential sire's sperm the dame will use. Sometimes it's only 1 and sometimes it's more. There is no real way of telling until the little boogers hatch.

    yeah thats what i figured, so heres my dilemma i breed my super pastel to my spider and they have locked up 3 times already and shes a good 2,200 grams so i know im going to get a lot of bumble bees, but if i breed my fire male to her will it cut those odds or do you think its worth it, i geuss thats the same kind of answer that we dont know till they hatch, but would you do it?

    You won't know until you hatch them out :)

    If your goal are Bee's then keep her locking up with the Super Pastel. Otherwise, take a gamble and maybe you might get a surprise. Good luck :gj:

    A lock in the hand is better than two in the bush. Don't get too greedy.

    im definitly wanting bumble bees i have wanted to produce one sense the first time i saw one 4 years ago, but i also would love a spider fire, but with just the super to the spider i will get all morphs, bumble bees and pastels, and if i take the chance with throwing the fire in it would give me potentilly normals to right?

    Yeah.
    if you assumed the sperm all had an equal chance at it,
    you would get
    25%bumblebee
    25%pastel
    12.5%spider
    12.5%fire
    12.5%spiderxfire
    12.5% totally normal

    Good luck
