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

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.

They do look just like heterozygous pinstripes...so you might have seen photos already, lol.

On what planet is supply outstripping demand for spiders? I have no problems selling any spider I put up for sale, quickly. The morph is still extremely popular, and it's a favorite among beginning breeders, since it's affordable.
When you can't sell a morph for the price of a normal, then you can say supply is outstripping demand.
Even the supply of normal ball pythons is NOT outstripping the demand for them. In spite of the thousands of captive-hatch babies imported from Africa, I still have 0 problems selling out my normals every year, and I actually sell them out before I sell out my morphs. I've never had a year where I had left over normals.
