Maybe, and maybe not. Nobody knows. It is all guesswork. Nobody posts numbers of eggs, hatchlings, slugs, and what (if any) type of embryo is inside the slugs.

It is well known that breeder females need higher levels of vitamins than nonbreeders. Would a vitamin supplement for the parents produce a smaller proportion of spinning spider royals? Might be worth a try.
