Why have only one spider and pinstipe ever been found in bush?

[snake lab]

Your thinking is fundamentally flawed. The idea of "If a spider was caught in the wild, it automatically means one of the parents was a spider" just isn't so. Just like anything else, there has to be a first. Somewhere along the way something went wrong genetically, and the first spider was hatched.

There have been no other wild spiders found. Trust me, if there had been, we would know about it. Whoever found it would have told the world, and been rich as a result. Could there still be one out there? Sure. I seriously doubt that though. It, or one of its offspring would have been found by now... and we would know about it.

This goes back to the chicken or the egg. I agree something went genetically wrong in some aspect to produce but if you think for a second that the world would know as soon as something is found in africa you are mistaken my friend. The bif importers here in the us have guys in place over there hired to find and produce stuff for them. These guys (importers) are already rich and they would make more money by keeping it a secret till they produce enough animals to create a market. When they find a one of a kind morph they first have to see if its codom, dom or recessive. Then they attack the market accordinglly. Before spiders hit the market there was alot of work to produce a number of them. Yes we will know about em but it wont be until work has been done with them. If you believe as soon as an animal is discovered we know about then that line of thinking is flawed.
