Here are some of them numbers so far and my opinion on what is really going on with the spider gene.
194 spider to spider offspring of those there were 153 spiders, was the sex ratio. So that is 78.86% spider offspring hatched. So our of those numbers you can see the ratio of spiders. So that puts that to rest. There is no fatal gene at play at all if there was there would be something in those numbers to back it up. Next is the offspring from the spider to spider pairings being bred to normals. I have done that with every single one and as stated the rest are waiting to hatch this year. So far there have been the expected odds mostly split in half of normal to spider ratio. I do not that the exact number of offspring on hand but it was aright around 53% spiders produced. So unless these 91 eggs hatch and something throws all spiders, which would I then would have to breed it again next year to prove it wasnt a fluke, then it is proven that we are still not knowing exactly what is going on with the spider gene. I may not ahve the scientific terms like everyone else but something that makes sense to me is that when the spider gene is present nothing else can attach its self to the same location in the DNA. I think I will be going with that statement rather than anything else because from what I have seen that would appear to be the case.
