Thanks for the offer Adam, and I would love to get ANY information you have on the spinning seen in spider morphs that you could find for me.
It is an axample of "too good to be true" being absolutely correct.
In YOUR opinion Adam, would you breed this animal or not? I was not going to breed her unless it was for research purposes. But in the other thread, you mentioned that you believe it is not genetic. If it is environmental, then she is defective herself physically, and perfectly fine genetically. Kind of like a snake who has a scar.
Thanks again!

1500 grams is a long way aways. If it were me, I would raise her up and breed her to the best looking pastel I can find (I LOVE BUMBLE BEES!) and hatch out some cool babies. If any of the babies turned out to be spinners, I would either just keep them for myself, or sell them to someone that is fully aware of the issues with spinning spiders.

Spinning doe not effect the animals ability to eat, grown, or breed. To me, if an animal is doing those things, it's a pretty happy little dude/dudette ... so I don't see anything wrong with raising her up, breeding her, and seeing what happens.
