  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Re: Where do you fall on the homozygous spider spectrum?

    My personal theory is that yes, a homozygous spider is possible and worth proving out. No I dont think two straight up spiders could do it. We've seen so many failed clutches and slugs from Spider x Spider. Maybe we just need to add another X gene to the mix that will create the spiders homozygous form without linking it to the nervous system(or at least making it not quite so bad)

    I plan on breeding spiders, but I want that to be on the back burner. My other prjects wil involve spider genes, and if we keep adding new and different patterns and genetic information, eventually it may be able to hatch out.

    I could be completely wrong, but at the very least this is what I would like to believe.
