I'm not saying that he's wrong, but I would have thought that we'd have seen more proof of it by now.
pairing was a killer bee to a spider according to the person who originally posted the picture.

I think its a little bit of a stretch to say it is the exact same as the jag, I mean a lot of super jags hatch and poke out the egg, then pass. Super spider seems to not even get to that point most of the time. However they are about as similar as it gets cross species. I think there is more compelling things to mention within ball pythons. You basically breed a spider to any morph known to wobble and it either produces a lethal combination or a severe wobble animal. Some of these wobble animals we known produce lethal supers, champagne and HGW.That combined with the fact the spider seems to be the most afflicted within the heterozygous form. Even without hard proof, what would be the logical thing to assume? Super spider being the most afflicted animal out of all the combos wouldn't be that big of a stretch eh?
