Breeding Albino,Spider,Pastel

May be a easy question or a long thread idk as im lost.

I have a male spider, female albino and soon to be male pastel.

Now what are my outcomes gonna look like if i breed the pastel and spider to the albino. or would i have a better chance at breeding the spider to a female pastel to get better odds. i am lost as to what will come of the 2 males to albino.

If you breed your spider and pastel to your albino, you are probably going to produce spiders het albino and pastel het albinos. The pastel albinos really aren't that spectacular, they just look like reg. albinos really. Now the spider albino is a Hawt! But that is just my two cents.

EDIT: I would say, get a female pastel and then breed your male spider to both your albino and the pastel.

Thats what i was thinking too so i can produce the het albino spiders to then get my all time favorite Albino spider. and my second fav Bumble bee.


Heres another what will come of albino spider to bumble bee. I would say all will be 100% het albino. spiders,normals,pastels,bees but im not sure if im on right trak

Actually, an Albino Spider X Bumblebee would give you:
Spiders het albino
Bumblebee Het albino

;)

That clears that up Thanks

I thought that spider x spider was a lethal paring..?

wouldn't breeding 2 spider combos together also be lethal?

No cause the albino spider has another gene diluting it. its not a direct spider x spider

a lethal pairing???

not really referring to lethal but he was leaning towards the genetic disorders spiders have.

I've never heard that before either. I've often thought that even though spider is a dominant morph having a homozygous spider would be handy for breeding to ensure spiderness among all the offspring.

Spiders are suspected of being lethal in the homozygous form but thats a rumor and nobody has any proof, but nobody has any proof of the existance of a homozygous spider either....

The Albino has nothing to do with diluting the spider gene. :gj:

The pairing wouldn't be lethal but any eggs that would contain homozygous spiders are thought to die before hatching, thus the rumored lethality of the homozygous spider.

The only genetic disorder in spiders is the wobble/spins and that has nothing to do with homozygous spiders.

It definitely would be handy, but nobody has been able to honestly say they have a homozygous spider. Some get lucky and hatch 100% but not consistently. :gj:

Oh yeah, trying to sell one and have people believe you would be tricky I'd imagine, but investing in your own could have a +EV value to it, would just depend on how badly you'd need to ensure a future project would need to have the spider gene in it I guess. Food for thought mostly.

The issue is that there is not any proof of one even existing... AT ALL. Everyone says they know someone who knows someone, but in all reality its just a rumor, and until a large breeder comes forth with proof, not many will believe it. At the same time there is no proof of the homozygous lethal either... double edged sword, imo.
