    As for the statement that the super spider will never exist, that is pretty much genetically impossible. At some point a homo spider exist. Weather it be a dead baby in an egg, a baby that didn't fully develop and molded,a baby who died soon after birth, or an animal in a collection somewhere. The animal has to exist, now proving it to exist is a different story. But without faith, wishes or dreams, what do we have?
    Why does it have to exist?

    Simple statistics says it has to exist only when it comes down to Spider x Spider breedings. I don't know at what level it exist (meeting of the sperm and egg up to a live adult) but somewhere down this road is a homo spider. Now does the double spider gene combined together at meeting cause the egg to die or become infertile, could be. There are just WAY to many things going on with genetics that could cause people to never know a homo spider exist. It could be that there is more going on with the spider gene than it being just "dominant". Who really knows. But that is really moving out of the world of snake genetics and getting into the real genetics of animal species.
