Spider question

[Freakie_frog]

I haven't seen his question answered. He knows it's chance, but is asking for actual numbers (even though we all know what could happen).

It shouldn't be difficult for others to post their numbers, as breeders are generally great record keepers.

Ok heres the numbers for the 2008 year for spiders

Spider male bred to 2 normals

17 eggs were produced

of those eggs 9 were of the Phenotype "wild" and 8 were of the Phenotype "spider".

Of those "Wild" the sex ratio was 6.3
of those "Spiders" the sex ratio was 4.4

Which mean that 47% were Spiders and 53% were Normals

of those 41% of them were female and 59% were males..

So as you can see in even in my small group the numbers don't stray to far from 50/50..

I've got three clutches of spider coming this year I'll try and post the results combined with the above to see if it widens or narrows the gap.
