Anyone done this yet?
What would you need to produce these ...
I was thinking about breeding my male albino poss het pied to a female spider as I really like the albino spiders, then I started thinking even further "albino spider pied" ... that would be a wild combo!
at the very least you would need a double het albino/pied and a spider double het albino/pied.
keep in mind, that, to date any spider pied cross is an all white snake with a patterned head. somehow the spider gene causes the pied gene to create an all white body. somebody PLEASE prove me wrong.
your right, spider pied is basicly white with a light colored head so if it was a albino spider pied it would be a white snake with albino looking head.
I have now 1.0 albino poss het pied and 0.3 het albino poss het pied .... so I think I will breed these to get albino's and maybe some pied's ..... I also think I will add a female spider to the group and breed her with the male albino in hopes of getting some spider het albino poss het pied.
If the pied proves out cool, if not oh well .... in the end I should be producing albino's, spider albino's and spiders (maybe some pied's) Not a bad deal!
to me it would be a waste to use a spider female on a het pied (unless you like to gamble). I would get a spider male and a het pied female if i were starting ....this way would cost about double but if your starting the project you can breed the spider to normal females to produce more female spiders in the long run for the project. If you just want a gamble a het pied male x spiders the cheaper way to go. its very time consuming to start a project like this from hets. Visuals are the way to go on a project like this but they arent exactly cheap. Hope i didnt confuse you, i have a tendancy to do that

some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant...don't know who started this saying but it's the truth
i forgot to mention a project like this using hets its most likely best to go in steps.... less of a gamble. Bring the het albino or visual albino in later. The prices are fairly low on them now so maybe your better off breeding albino x spider to produce spider 100% hets then bring the pied blood in later.
