Although that is a possible scenario, spiders from spider x spider breeding have been around for maybe three years? At least two breeding seasons if not more. Considering male spiders often breed by the time they are six months if there were homozygous spiders, we would have heard about them by now...either that or everyone suddenly got really good at keeping secrets...

The few that were claimed, produced clutches with normals the following year. Considering you can breed one male with up to ten females, it should be simple enough to prove out a homozygous spider in one year...where are they?? (ans: homozygous lethal)
