Is it lethal? Maybe, maybe not. There are not enough breedings out there to prove anything in this area. Just because high end breeders don't believe there to be doesn't mean that there isn't. They know better than to breed spider x spider because there is no point in breeding a dominant to the same dominant gene.
You totally contradict yourself here. First you say it's not called a super spider, second you say its possible for a homozygous form. If it has a homozygous form it is a codom, therefor the homozygous form would be a super. All of this is exactly why I made the troll post a page or two back saying "oh snap, there is super spider talk in this thread". This could go on forever.
