With there being at best scattered data of spider x spider pairings at all, zero data about those offspring in relation to the homozygous spider, question 2 is asking quite a bit.

Honestly I wouldn't see why we couldn't, supplementary genes or epigenetics, you would figure something would start to show through, but it is unknown what it is and how long it could take.
