I saw a thread about this recently but I can't remember if I replied to it or deleted what I was going to say. I think people are criticizing it for two reasons. First there's no super form and no one's proven out a homozygous spider, so that means that either no one has taken the time to really prove it out (I'm sure someone would have noticed it even if they weren't trying to prove it out) or that there's some type of genetic issue where it's a lethal combo or the eggs don't go full term (which people also haven't noticed). There's not a clear answer either way. The second reason is that some people don't like the spider gene because of the wobble, so they assume it's lethal or a doomed egg.

If someone was pairing spider x spider I'd say it's not very efficient. Spider x spider = 75% spiders, but if you paired each to a normal you'd end up with 50% spiders, but more eggs. Then add in pairing with some other morph and it's even better.

But in circumstances like this it's silly to criticize the pairing. Pairing two 3 gene snakes together is hard to ever really criticize, but this is even better because of the super enchi and the fact that it's 5 different genes. The excitement of whether or not I got a 5 gene snake would be exciting. Even though it's a lot to put into a snake it'd be great for a breeder.
