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

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.
-
I actively avoid breeding spiders to spiders, because I believe the homozygous form is lethal.
-
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.
-
Other option I didn't think of, add to comments, go on, you deserve it.

Please show us where some proof of these homozygous dominate snakes are, you know just like anything else, pictures or it didn't happen.
Call me a skeptic until actual real proof is shown, Has Brian shown pictures of multiple clutches of eggs with all pinstripes in them, or are we still hiding the evidence and expecting people to believe it on his word?
My statement on the price of spiders and pins was based on the fact that if any of these mutations actually gets spread into the hobby the amount of spiders/pinstripes would be so great as to plummet their prices.
Oh wait, that's already being done...and we don't have any homozygous dominate trait in the hobby "that we know of".
Supply is already outstripping demand, how would making all spiders in a clutch or all pinstripes in a clutch help the hobby?

I have heard several stories of people breeding spider to a normal and only getting spiders. Good odds, or supers
Not good odds or supers, just rumors until someone actually shows proof.
No pics, just rumors, that's all it ever is.
I'm open to the idea that any of these homozygous mutations might exist BUT SHOW ME THE PROOF
