So far as I am aware...there are no documented, proven cases of homozygous spiders. This lack of certainty could be due to the fact that the homozygous form doesn't look any different than the heterozygous form and therefore no one is certain which might be homozygous and have yet to conclusively prove one out by producing ALL spider offpsring. OR....the homozygous version of the morph is "fatal"...meaning some other genetic issue is connected with the gene and in its homozygous form does not allow the embryo to mature into a hatchling.Originally Posted by johnabrams82
Due to fact that no visual "supers" have been produced, people have pretty much stopped trying and use their spiders for other, more exciting projects. Therefore, the opportunities to prove out a homozygous spider aren't as prevelent as one might think, given the popularity of the morph.
That is my limited understanding of spider genetics and breeding.![]()
