Question about champagne spiders

[Gerardo]

Ive heard that all the champagne spiders die not too long after hatching. Is this true and if it is then why does it happen?

[Inarikins]

It's fatal. I don't think it's known for sure why. I'm pretty sure the theory is that champagne amplifies the spider wobble to an extreme degree, making snakes that simply can't function. They die in the egg or they fail to thrive and die. The guy who would know the most about it is Kevin McCurley and he talks about fatal combos in two videos:



(The forum is only letting me post one, but you should be able to find the second part easily)

Lethal genes.

Same reason why no one produces super spiders or super champs, something just doesn't work out and they die.. Yay for genetics :/ It will probably be a while before anyone actually figures it out... All you need to know is don't do it :/ not worth the risk.
