Ever think that my spider may be more adapted to this world then your normal?

You don't even know what the spider mutation is and yet you suggest....

It is very probable to be a point mutation with a promoter controlling the level of expression really no grounds to suggest an evolutionary divergence.

You are right, I don't know what the spider mutation is. But here is the thing, neither do you. So how can you suggest that "it is very probably to be a point mutation with a promotor controlling the level of expression and really no grounds to suggest an evolutionary divergence" ??? Sounds like your guesswork is adding up to a lot of fluff as well.

Keep in mind that there has only been 1 spider ever found in the wild. And that 1 is the source of what we have today. So we don't know how well they can survive since we have only found one. Maybe it was the only one out there.

It's not really speculation. It's more fact. There has only been one Spider that has been caught in the wild. That one is the one that NERD got in 1999. There are no other records of spiders being found in the wild.

So man just happened to find the only spider in the history of the world? Let me get this right... When a spider mates with a normal 50% of the babies are spider, 50% are normal. To suggest that one spider somebody happened to find in the wild is the only one is rediculous. Even more rediculous is the idea that because we only have record of another country finding one spider ball python, it must be the only one they have ever found.

LOL!

That's as much speculation as the original post, and a pretty bold claim to say that only one has ever been found in the wild. We have no idea how many have been found. There may have only been one, but there may have been a dozen or more. Not every wild caught ball python has been sent here, not every one sent here has made it alive, and not nearly every one collected was sent anywhere at all.

Bingo!
