100% WRONG

All i did was ask them, I believe my exact words were "Hey, since you guys are the founders of the spider project, what do you know about the homozygous spider being lethal?"

They told me that its a rumor that started around the time kevin started selling his spiders and never left and became "fact". They have never seen anything that suggests it. How can I be the first person to post this here? I've never seen this info here, and the whole homozygous spider thing seems to be fact around here.

then it gets better

then they tell me they have a suspected homozygous spider breeding, right now, has thrown all spiders in 2 clutches ( i didn't ask them how many eggs) and came from a breeding with both parents having spider in it. They believe it to be homozygous. could they of hit awesome odds? sure they could of, but sounds like the homozygous spider looks like a het spider, just like the pinstripe (ill get back to that one later)



so what do you guys make of that?
OK - I happen to be at NERD right now for the weekend, and I just asked Kevin about this. He remembers you asking about the homozygous lethal and said that he said there's no such thing when it comes to spider. But he said that he NEVER said nor implied that they have a homozygous spider. I read the post from my phone to him and he said that he doesn't remember that part of the conversation.

So - for the record, Kevin said that he has not produced and does not believe that there is a homozygous spider nor that spider is homozygous lethal.
