A question about sex...
I've never seen this subject posted before, sorry if it's a repeat.
I bred a male spider to a female pastel this season. 4 eggs. All hatched. I got one pastel and three normals.
In about a week or so, my female spider, which bred a male pastel, is due to lay.
My question is if any of the breeders who have worked with morphs a lot (I'm not new to this, but I worked with burms in the past), can tell me if they have noticed a higher percentage of their offspring carrying traits if it came from the mother or father? For example did you produce more pastels if it was a male pastel in the breeding or female pastel in the breeding? Or if it doesn't matter or if you never noticed?
I will certainly be paying attention to this next clutch as although 4 out of 4 hatching successfully is always great, I was hoping for better odds, morph-wise, than 1 out of 4 with two morphs breeding.
Anyone?
Chris
