disappointed in the internet community, ending this rumor right now

anyway you could talk to him again and possibly get some more info? if hes been around awhile, it might be time for him to get on the forum.

as for the spider wobble, which may be a little off topic, I don't think people have an issue with it because I can't find one case of a spider having a wobble so bad it cannot thrive. even if one did pop up, natural selection would take care of it. if he has a breeding homozygous spider, it obviously thrives so why not share some information with the rest of us? the issue has nothing to do with the wooble, its what the gene truly is.

also i will add even if he did get on I wouldn't expect everyone to 100% "believe" him right away, even if he says hes produced 50 eggs all spiders. but if more people come forward mayb even a couple years from now, we might be able to put together something.

I will ask him about the homozygous spider for you, but I will simply pm you anything I find out so that we don't beat the dead horse anymore about spider wobble. Since the post was about the lethality of the homozygous spider, and not about spider wobble anyways...

I only mentioned it because it was in the discussion I had with him about the reason why his homozygous spider wobbled badly, he did not believe it had anything to do with the animal carrying two copies of the spider gene, only that it was the heavy inbreeding (once again this was an older animal from before the lines became more diluted.)
