True, but for the sake of the article I don't think any assumptions should be made. We look at the Banana, Pinstripe and Spider and no one has come out and said "I've produced a homozygous XXXXX". Then again, I think a LOT of people are too busy producing crosses to bother with such things. Even Super Pastels still seem to be relatively rare on the market.

With the popularity of Bee's these days, I imagine most people aren't breeding heterozygous Spiders together all that often. Although I'm sure the big breeders have... and if anyone has spiders it's them.
