    SPIDERS ARE AMAZING. Best mutation ever IMO. You may not have any dead eggs. Its all about what the odds gods want to help you with. If you put a spider and a spider together you make spiders and normals. That's the truth. What someone needs to find is a hidden gene Spider and see what happens. LOL

    I thought the number brian gave me was 27 eggs so thats over 1 in a hundred million.

    Re: Spiders and pinstripes

    TSK gave numbers on a couple of spider X spider clutches. I remember at one point they were running right about 1/4 small eggs that didn't hatch. It was a small sample size and could have just been luck/bad luck. Last I heard they were planning to breed all the hatchlings looking for a homozygous spider starting last year or the year before I think.

    Looking for a homozygous spider, huh? I propose we call it the Super Wonky Ball?

    Ok so what are the odds of producing only spiders in a clutch of seven. With only one parent being a spider?
    Over 60...

    The odds of this are 0.78125% if the spider parent is heterozygous. The odds are 100% if the spider parent is homozygous.
