Spider x Spider results

[Albert Clark]

OWAL: This will most likely be my last time breeding spider x spider on purpose, given the new info with the blackhead gene. Figure i might as well share anyways. Pairing was a spinner hypo to a spider. I'm assuming the egg went bad around 30-35. Cut it today on day 40. Under developed white snake.

Wow! Very interesting bc I recently did a pairing of a Candino / Albino pairing that produced 5 good eggs. The eggs incubated well @ 87.5 F -88.5 F with a constant 99% humidity . Unfortunately at about day 40 I noticed some discoloration on one of the eggs. This particular egg was on the bottom of the clutch with three other eggs attached to it so it was difficult to access the discolored egg. The progression of the discoloration became much more evident and apparent that the egg was bad. The other eggs were totally fine and hatched with healthy babies. Two visual Candinos and two visual Albinos. They pipped at day 57 and the bad egg at that point was very discolored and smelly. Curiosity made me cut the egg after all the hatchlings were out and it was a underdeveloped white snake with a large hardened yolk at the bottom of the egg. Looking very much like this white snake. I didn't take photos of it bc I wasn't going to post it but I did talk about it in my thread about the clutch results. I was thinking that bc of the allelic mutation of the two genes that may have had something to do with it? That maybe the pairing of a Candino/ Albino was just not the best choice? The four survivors are so far doing well and seem ok.
