Ok so here are the end results of every breeding from the start of the Spider x Spider breedings.
Step one was from Spider to Spider with a total of 194 offspring and 153 of them being Spider the rest
being normal which gives us 78% spiders and 22% normals. All were held back from this.
Next is the Spider offspring bred to normals there were a total of 1097 eggs laid that were Spider to normal.
Of those eggs there were 578 were spiders and all the rest were normal which leaves a ratio of 52% spiders and the gender
of them was pretty much split 50/50 as normal. So there is no fatal gene at play and no super spider or anything like that.
There is one thing that did happen that is note worthy. One of the normal female offspring from the original breedings
was bred to a pastel this year and I hatched out a bumble bee. She was a virgin girl so something odd is going on there and
I will replicate the breeding next year to see if it happens again. In the same clutch I had 2 pastels and one spider as well
as 1 normal.
So there you have it. Those are the end results. Let me know what you think.
