But there's the problem right there, you can end up with dead hatchlings for any number of reasons. Theoretically, if you breed a spider to a spider, you'll either have 25% less eggs, or 25% dead hatchlings. It may be because noone really tries it very often, but I haven't heard of many clutches like that. I do know that lots of people also thought the pinstripe could be homozygous lethal, but as was mentioned BHB thinks he has a homozygous pinstripe right now. I do know that when we asked him about the idea of pinstripe being homozygous lethal last year, he said that he's had plenty of pinstripe x pinstripe clutches, and never noticed anything odd with the number of eggs or hatchlings that didn't make it. The guy to ask about spider x spider clutches would definitely be Kevin McCurley from NERD. He's the guy that imported the original, and I know he's the guy that probably tried the hardest to produce a super spider.Originally Posted by Egapal
