for all you spider owners out there...

That's no myth. ED nailed that one. I've got some Het Albino females that will take your bottom lip off if you tried that.

I was talking aobut the spiders. I now nothing about agressiveness in female albino hets. But how does a snakes genotype interfear with there attitude?!

For whatever it's worth, I have a TON of het albino girls of all ages and they are all fine ... I also have some spiders that will munch on your ace if you aren't careful when you take them out of their tubs.

Hope this helps.

I have no idea whether het albinos are more aggressive. If this was true, I'd think an albino would be more aggressive as well.

I also have no idea whether Ed's test would even work or is a smart idea if you don't want to be bitten (though he did say you could blow on its face rather than stick out your finger).

However, "motor control" issues are behavior (which can kind of be viewed as "attitude" or "deposition"). How do you think a snakes' genotype interferes with that?

It's called pleiotropy. The spider gene apparently just doesn't manifest itself only in the cells of the snake's skin.

Remember, for most part, every body cell in the snake contains the same genes. The same gene used to do one thing in the skin may be put to another use in a different part of the body.

Thanks for clearing that up! I didn't know that!
