Proof on the Spider gene. OWAL take a look

[WingedWolfPsion]

Spiders ARE visual hets, whether there is a super form or not. 'Het', short for 'heterozygous', means that the animal carries one mutant gene copy, and one normal gene copy, on the same locus. That is all that it means, and nothing else is implied.
The fact that spiders apparently cannot be homozygous (carry 2 mutant copies of the gene on the same locus) does not in any way change that.

I don't think that's what it means.

Oh, like heterozygous versus homozygous, got it. My bad.

I am a friend of the OP and am responding on his behalf in sorts. The reason he has not replied is because he passed away. Before you start attacking someone try to learn who they are and what they stand for. He didn't bred snakes to make money or anything close to that. He bred snakes because he loved it. He would breed all normals if that was all that was available. I can guarantee that he did the breedings as stated, he did mess up the end numbers but that is human error and misreading the numbers nothing more than that. The data is now in my hands and I am finishing what he started and bringing this all to a close for him. All data pertaining to this and everything else he was working on will be available when it is all put into a format that can be published and marketed. I will not be posting anything on here for it until the book is released and then it will just be a link to where to buy it.

Thank you and good bye.

I still smell a troll here. If not, I'm sorry for your loss.

Could a mod maybe check the IP adress of the new user with one post that knew just where to find this thread against the IP for the OP? Not that it would be definitive if they were different but it would be definitive if they were the same. It is just my curiousity and nothing else, so if you don't care to or don't have the time then no worries.

If it helps the OP lived in Washington state and I am in Michigan born and raised. It is great to know that you can smell a toll so far away though. I am now going to BEG a Mod to do an IP check. And just so Other things are cleared up right away. I just made this account to day. Why? Because we were waiting for a few legal issues to be cleared up and I was not going to post anything until that was completed. The OP was my best friend and that is the only reason I am even coming to his defense on here and that is the only reason I even posted anything. Please keep all negative comments to yourself about my friend.

Edit:
The reason I knew where to find this is because his wife let me know about it.

x2 ...but I know that if I passed away, I honestly don't think a person would post so extensively on a forum on my behalf. I think that even my closest friends, heck even husband (though I doubt he'd say anything) would simply say I had passed away... but likely not go to the extent of searching out every forum I was a member of and addressing an unanswered thread.... *shrugs shoulders*

As for IP addresses, who said you couldn't have moved? Just sayin'....

[gsarchie]

Right, because the OP could never have moved and or gotten a new computer, huh? I'm not trying to be negative, but the original thread smelled of fishiness and trolls and my hunch tells me that you sudden post does as well.

Again, if I am wrong , and if what you say is true, then I am sorry for your loss, but I am too cautious a person to take your out of the blue post lightly.

I concur

Considering this turn of events, we should just let this thread die...

[TheTruth]

Honestly that would be pretty extreme to post on a single forum wouldn't it? I understand where you are coming from and short of providing a death certificate there is nothing that I can do to make up your mind. It is not my right to do so so I will not. After I have completed his work and post the information on where and how to get the book on this thread I will no longer be on this forum.

I posted as his best friend and at the request of his wife to let people know that the results will be available with thousands of pictures, all time stamped, with all the text data in the near future. There is a little more work that needs to go in to this book. His full plan was to have an answer for the spider gene, have an answer for the pinstripe gene, and have an answer for the female desert issues. He completed one of those parts and I will be completing the rest for him. After that is completed then the results will be made public for everyone to see.

I am sorry if I came off as rude previously but understand that from my point of view I was being attacked and still feel that way. I am a snake lover and love working with them but after this I am not sure I want to be a part of this community any longer.
