I have recently breeder loaned one of my normal female balls to another breeder to plug with his spider male... what came out were odd patterned spiders with unusual heads and spotted pattern down the sides... I will have pics soon, but the person is saying they are simply "ugly" and will be hard to sell and worth less. I am not an expert but my gut says something is up with the spider offspring that are visibly different then all the rest of the dads offspring that year... to me a lot of co-doms seem to be popping out with visible recessive genes... looking at the spiders on the market right now that are het for anything look different... could my odd patterned normal female that i lent out be het for something and now passed it down to 1/2 the clutch...if so what...or do sometimes just ugly spiders pop out?
