Here are some results recorded from breeders on facebook:
- Spider x spider
6 eggs. No issues.
- Spider x bee
5 eggs. No issues
- Yes I had a successful breeding of a male axanthic spider, visual to 4 het axanthic females spiders.. out of one of the clutches I did produce a pure white snake that live for about a week or so inside of the egg but never developed to a stage where it lived outside of it. So yes there is a super form, but it died i guess the terminology 2 be applied is lethal. I have no idea about adding different genes to a super form of spider.
BEAUTIFUL SNAKE (I would take his claims with a grain of salt. Even though you produced a white snake, that doesn't mean that it is for sure a "super form". Not enough information and proof given)
- I've seen someone breed spider to spider and a couple of the babies were really clean looking spiders. One had noticeable wobble but the other didn't. The clutch was 6 eggs 2 were slugs the other 4 hatched and were just fine.
- I have done spider X bee and I saw no white snakes or bad eggs there were 10 eggs all healthy most showed no visual sign of wobble, I could have missed on the proverbial white snake.
- I'm on my first clutch now and after doing research and speaking with a lot of breeders on the subject, I chose to do a lesser bee X killer bee pairing. She laid 6 perfect eggs, no boobs or slugs and all candled with strong veins. The breeders I spoke to that have tried it all noted they had a normal good egg to slug ratio. No more then any other pairing. Also anytime an egg dies before the embryo reaches a certain stage in development, you will find a white baby in the egg. Pattern develops fairly late and color is one of the last things to develop.
- And also another guy talking about his friends clutch where only 2 out of the 5 eggs were good. I didn't include his because his posts are a mess, he's very unsure, and he's really obviously biased by repeatedly saying things like "It's not worth it, why would you do it, etc"
