since their is no super form of the spider. I could be wrong though, I'm pretty new at this but I read a lot.

Yeah, I think you're right. Either no confirmed "super-spiders" have ever been produced (so nobody knows what they would look like), or the homozygous form looks exactly the same as the heterozygous form, and that would make them dominant, not co-dom.

~kasey

Not to get too sidetracked, but the inheritance of the Spider mutation has not been proven to be just "Dominant" or "Co-Dominant" since not enough Het. X Het. breedings have been done / recorded to sort through.

Basically, if there is a Super (homozygous) Spider, which repeatedly throws 100% spider litters when bred to a normal, and appears visually to be just a "regular spider" then this morph will be proven(somewhat!) to be true Dominant inheritance.

If, in het X het breedings, a certain % of the offspring terminate before full term / or are infertile due to being a "Super" or Homozygote, then this is a Co-Dominant means of inheritance.

Also, if a visually different super spider is produced, this would also mean co-dominance.

Thanks, and hope this helps.

It has not been proven yet as codom. Only as dominant. There have been no supers produced and so far there are no regular spiders that consistently produce all spider clutches.
