Something strange with this WT female

[gcanibe]

I wonder if someone with experience in BP reproduction happened something like this.
This is my second year breeding ball pythons. Last year i bred this female WT with my male spider and I got 5 healthy eggs the results was 4 normals and a deformed Spider.
This year i bred her with the same male spider and a male pastel i got 6 find eggs: 3 normals, 2 pastels and again a deformed Spider.
It was thinking that this female has a problem with the Spider Gene? is it posible?
Sorry about my bad English

That's interesting. Have you bred the male spider to other females and produced healthy spider offspring? Can you post pictures of the female WT?

[llovelace]

Yes, have you bred the spider to another female?

[gcanibe]

Yes, I bred last year this Male Spider with another nomal and got 10 eggs, 4 Healty Spiders 2 males and 2 females and 6 fine normals.

This is the last year deformed Spider, and the mom







This ones are the healthy holdback girls from the other normal female from the same Spider dad , they are beautifull now they are at 800 gms.:

I'd say it's the mom for sure. She does look like she influenced the pattern quite a bit on those spider babies. You say she's a wild caught? Or captive hatched import maybe?

I'd try breeding her to a different male. She looks very interesting. Almost genetic banded like. She resembles a hidden gene Woma. (yes they do look very different from regular Womas) but I doubt that's what she is.

Has she produced any normals that look just like her? If there is a possibility that she may be a subtle morph, she may not be genetically compatible with spider?

I really have no idea. The only way to know is to breed her to a different male to find out what's going on.

This year i paired her 10 times with a very light NERD pastel male, and just 2 times with the spider, she gave me 6 healthy eggs. 2 pastels 3 normals and the deformed Spider. Is it possible that she retain the Spider sperm from last year? or this year got eggs from 2 dads?
The other normals from last year and from this year doesnt look like moms pattern I dont think shes hide gene woma.

[Foschi Exotic Serpents]

No I dont think that she is, I'm just saying her pattern reminds me of one. Plus the spiders turned out interesting. Yes the babies can be sired by many different males. You could pair her with 5 different males and get a baby sired by each male.
