who says it doesn't happen? there is zero data to make any conclusion off of. So the answer is we don't know whats going on with the spider. Also I don't have any idea what the spider gene has to do with the pinstripe gene? Should we talk about how pastels work also? is that relevant? I dont understand your logic.
there nothing to suggest lethal besides rumors. Everything about the spider gene is inconclusive because we have next to no information. Only good piece of data I have seen is this.... http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...=1#post1847606 which im still hoping they post their final results, but with what they gave us.... it is still inconclusive, but interesting.
just a point to bring up, if it is lethal, it will not be classified as dominant anymore
