Can re-absorption take place after fertilization? I never thought about it before, but if that does occur, that’s amazing! Does anyone know for sure?
I think the lethal allele idea is a valid one, but I am a curious about how common lethal alleles are. Maybe someone has an idea about how often it actually occurs in other species? Applied to ball pythons the number may be a little higher than the normal of course, but is it likely to happen? At work, debugging computer code, I always tend to favor the "KISS" theory ... "Keep It Simple Stupid" ... but, I would be interested in slug data for breeding spider to spider? (Unless re-absorption after fertilization is possible, then proving or disproving lethal alleles would be moot right?)
