Does anyone breed spider to spider? They would get 3/4 spiders and those would be 33% homo spider, meaning all their babies would be spider. I've never seen a poss homo spider being sold. Does anyone do that?

this came up in a past post. apparently people said it was not worth it since it was a dominant trait. plus a lot of people say there are defects with spiders so if bred together those could intensify, however i think it would be better-plus maybe a super-spder that could be different--who knows

It was tried, but there wasn't a visable difference between homogenous and het.... It would be impossible to tell which offspring were the"hets", with out growing them up,breeding them.... so more proffitable to do combos.

That's true, but still if you proved a male to be homo for spider, you could make a lot of money from him,twice as many spiders, and no odds to worry about. even combos would be easier
