First question is what genetics do not cross with the spider gene. I know I can’t go spider x spider , but I’ve also heard I can’t cross HGW(hidden gene woma) with the spider gene. I saw a “wanna bee” on morphmarket which is a hgw x bumblebee. Which I thought wasn’t possible.
My second question is , say I breed my bee too a banana and I get a bp that shows only the pastel/banana. Would that baby still have the spider gene ? Or is that only with the recessive genes like albino, pied Exc?
Third question is what genes do you think I should add to my collection to utilize my breeding potential.
My current collection
Juvenile-Female yellow belly,coral glow/banana
Juvenile-Female pewter,mojave,coralglow/banana
Adult-Male bumble bee
Looking to spend around $800.00

There are many who say nobody should be breeding Spider morphs full stop ..
I just collect and have no interest in snake breeding..
I do have a stunning Caramel Albino Spider though ... zero head wobble !
