I specifically remember identifying it at as a low expression spider that would absolutely produce spiders, and received MUCH criticism for my identification. 99% of the replies were stated that the animal was a normal, and nobody was looking at the obvious signs. This is not that uncommon... Ball pythons take on an appearance outside their genetics quite often but the genetics remain within the animal. It's not dormant, it's just the expression is different due to their incubation development. I've tried to explain how this occurs and why in many previous threads.

Here is the thread that I'm referring to regarding this animal.

to avoid digging up the old thread, I will ask you here, has any other blackhead spider pairings been done or do you have info on the previous pairings? I'm interested on if the allelic theory is proven yet, I have been hearing about it for a while.
