I also doubt that the person with the male spider agreed to a deal with a 50/50 split. I would never agree to that kind of deal. The best offer I have had was....I hope you all are sitting down!.... This guy called me and asked me if instead of him buying a spider male from me.. would I be interested in just giving it to himand when he was able to breed him with one of his girls he would give me..."the pick of the litter." I laughed and hung up. That guy was clueless. Getting back to point at hand.. I agree that the spider with spots on the sides is not weird or rare. I don't agree that it is even worth less at these prices we are seeing now. All spiders have the ability to throw striped, spotted, reduced, high white, low white and so on. It does not make that spider weaker. The gene is what it is. I believe it is a preference thing and you should pick one that catches your eye. Regardless all the designer crosses you will make are "cool".

If I were you I would just be greatful that you have been given that oppurtunity and take the male spider and raise him and breed him and enjoy!

Just my opinion.
