spider x spider

[AaronP]

I'll just add my .02 and a question. The question is: Have there been any wild caught spiders since the first ones? I hear of every other morph coming in WC occasionally but never spiders.

I think if spiders are co-dom then the reason we can't get supers from them could have something to do with whatever genes make them spin. I haven't heard anyone bring that up but it seems plausible to me. Once I get to the point where I can spare the space I definitely want to try my hand at a super spider unless its proven to not exist by that time

Actually a lot of morphs haven't been brought in again. We haven't seen another Pinstripe, we haven't seen another Desert, we haven't seen more Black Axanthics, or Leopards. But time will tell.

Hmm, I've never considered that before....

The only morph I know of right off the top of my head that has several variants is Axanthic, and those aren't even compatible with each other...so...they can be even be considered the same morph?

Does anyone know if there has been more than one of a certain type of [compatible] morph found in the wild?

Actually the VPI and the NERD Line of Axanthics are compatible and I believe there are others.

Morphs with multiple Lines:
Piebald
Albino
Axanthic
Cinnamon
Black Pastel
Woma
Clown
Lavender Albino
Pastel
Hypo (There are TONS of linese of these)
Yellow Belly
Lesser/Butter (I know there are multiple lines of Lesser, I think there are Butter)
I think Mojave
Phantom/Mystic
Fire

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Ack, I completely forgot about the NERD/VPI lines being compatible. And Albinos would obviously be compatible. But wow, I didn't realize there were so many that had been found in the wild multiple times and are compatible with others! Neat! Though, I don't think the Mystic has been proven to be a Phantom yet (correct me if I'm wrong), and I didn't think the different types of Hypos were compatible (i.e. if you cross a Het Green Ghost with a Het Butterscotch Ghost they can produce a homozygous Ghost).

They haven't bred Mystic to Phantom but the Super Mystic is identical to the Super Phantom, I'm sure there will be a Mystic to Phantom Breeding in the next year or so that'll prove them compatible.\

and I didn't think the different types of Hypos were compatible (i.e. if you cross a Het Green Ghost with a Het Butterscotch Ghost they can produce a homozygous Ghost).

This is true but most Hypo lines are compatible, only a handful are not.

Also another morph I forgot about that has multiple lines: Caramel Albino

Outside of this conversation, who is breeding the leopards? I saw JK just got one but haven't seen them for sale anywhere?
