Ghost Spider - Quick Q's

[Crazy4Herps]

Hi

I'm planning to start breeding this next season. I have a normal female who's well above breeding weight, and [as of next week] a breeder spider male.

I was looking into getting a female breeder pastel, so I would have two clutches; norm x spider and spider x pastel, but now I'm considering going for ghost spiders instead of bees.

My questions:

1. (I'm sorry, I know Q's like this come up ALL the time) What would be the %s if I bred a spider to a visual ghost?

2. What would be the %s if I bred a spider to a DH ghost?

3. What are the prices of a ghost spider in comparison to a bee?



Thanks!

a spider to a ghost would be 50% spider het ghost 50% normal het ghost

I dont know much on DH's im not sure if theres such a thing as a DH ghost, wouldnt a DH have to be het ghost and something else?

as for the price, i have no clue, i havent seen any this year. Hopefully someone else has seen one and can help

Not sure of prices but the Honeybee (Spider Ghost) will cost more than a bee as it is a recessive/dominant gene combo. These take 2 generation to breed whereas bees can be produced first generation

Here in the UK, honeybees are about twice the price of bumblebees.

They are also much harder to come by.

So I would have to breed a spider het ghost to a ghost for a honeybee, right?

Thank you all!

Yes...You can also breed Spider 100% Het Hypo x 100% Het Hypo to produce a Honey Bee.

With a spider breeding a ghost, you should have half the babies come out spider het for ghost, and half the babies will be "just" het for ghost.

I'm not sure what you refer to as a DH ghost?

Honeybees are more expensive than bumblebees. They are pretty hot looking too! I've never seen a ugly honeybee!

[matt71915]

same with me, honeybees are always amazing looking
i would think a spider het hypo would either be the same price or lower than a bumbee. some of the hets i see have outrageous price tags that you could afford the visual and make your own hets

Nerd was selling a Honeybee not too long ago for I believe 2250 but I am unsure of size and sex.

I almost picked up a Spider Het Hypo for my OG Male.

I <3 Honeybees!

What do you get if you cross two honeybees? A super honeybee?

Also, I keep getting mixed messages from various Classifieds areas; what is the average price for a female breeder pastel and a female breeder ghost?
