spider x spider article

there is a big chance that if the egg is from spider x spider that it might of just been deformed by random chance. one egg failing to develop with out all the information on the egg and the snake with in during development isn't conclusive as some have stated. but it has me really thinking about my spider girl and what i would do with her off spring. if i even mention the chance of a deformed or lethal combo to her she freaks out and wants out of breeding all together due to use losing our first child last year. the snakes are her babies or snabies as some have called them and she wants nothing but the best of health for them and their young so i am trying to find out all i can about each of our morphs and their potential offspring.

Though it would be nice if some of the big breeders who do breed spider with spider would necropsy any eggs that don't develop that seemed fertile at laying, and tell us what all they see happening. to the breeder's who do thank you as this information can stop some of us who are doing this as a hobby and are passionate about our snakes to the point of obsession from having heartache.

I've talked with some "big breeders" like Rob Starzman who have produced hundreds of clutches (possibly thousands of hatchlings) trying to figure out what's going on with Spider x Spider and his results were inconclusive. He didn't mention producing any dead white babies, an increased slug ratio, or eggs that went bad. Other breeders have been trying to explore Spider x Spider with no unusual results, as well.
