I answered the "focus on other morphs". I had a pair of spiders for a while and due to interest in this debate (I might have been the first to post about the possibility spider is lethal many years ago) had planned to breed them together but eventually decided to sell the male. I needed the cage space and just wasn't that interested in producing lots of spiders due to the possibility of producing a severely wobbling baby. I did finally get my first clutch from the spider female this year (bred to a pastel yb that might also be chocolate) so should hatch my first spider next week. I don't really plan on adding more spiders in the future. I think they are a cool morph but with so many other cool morphs out there and my limited space/time/money I don't see expanding my spider collection (now watch me hatch one I just can't stand not to keep, lol). I've been meaning to add pinstripe for years but even without knowing of any pinstripe issues to hold me back I still haven't done that for the same space/time/money limitations but will probably do pinstripe before embarking on a project to satisfy my curiosity as to if spider is really homozygous lethal.
