What an exciting opportunity!! If it were me, I would go for a male. Spider being a dominate trait, you can breed him with a number of those beautiful "normals" and have a whole bunch of spiders to "play" with. If you get a female, then you have to take your spiders one clutch at a time. So, you may have to wait a tad longer on making bees (unless your collection changes again between now and then) but in my world, it would be worth it.
