Spider x Spider results

[paulh]

Thank you for posting this. I'm a believer in the theory that spiderXspider is not a lethal combo. I am currently pairing my lesser bee to my killer bee hoping for positive results

I am looking forward to seeing your results, too. However, to determine whether a pair of spider genes is lethal, we have to make spider to spider matings as you are doing. Then the spider babies must be mated to non-spider ball pythons. If any normal babies occur, the spider parent does not have a pair of spider genes. A couple of dozen of those matings should give decent statistics. I'd also like to see a compilation of the results of spider mated to non-spider. That would tell us whether or not spider babies develop and hatch just as well as non-spiders.
