View Poll Results: Where do you fall on the homozygous spider spectrum?

Voters
73. You may not vote on this poll
  • I actively breed spiders to spiders in an attempt to get a homozygous animal, as I feel the effort required, is balanced out by the potential business gain in future breeding projects.

    2 2.74%
  • I actively avoid breeding spiders to spiders, because I believe the homozygous form is lethal.

    4 5.48%
  • I actively avoid breeding spiders to spiders because I believe either outcome (whether lethal or not) provides no business gain.

    9 12.33%
  • I make no effort to specifically pair or avoid pairing spiders to spiders, unless the specific snakes have other morphs I'd like to combine. If they are paired, they are paired.

    28 38.36%
  • I am not involved in any spider projects (or) My focus is on other morphs and combos.

    25 34.25%
  • Other option I didn't think of, add to comments, go on, you deserve it.

    What OhhWat said--I wouldn't say I would never breed spider to spider, but unless there is some truly compelling reason to do it, I would avoid it, because of the chance that I would lose 25% of the clutch before it hatched. It's a chance that seems silly to take if it's not necessary.
