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.

    I had to laugh when I got back to my incubator a few hours after posting the above and found my first spider gene baby ever had hatched:



    I think she is a pastel spider yellow belly (has some dark speckling at the edge of the belly that doesn't show in this pic). Both her grandmothers have produced 14 egg clutches and reached over 4,500 grams. How can I not keep her, lol. At least I guess I can sell off her just spider mom to free up a slot for her. The last egg of the clutch seems to have something similar, maybe even with chocolate. Watch it be a male I also just can't stand not to keep and I'll end up totally eating my words and raising up a PAIR of spiders gene animals ... That’s what I get for shooting off my mouth.
