Love the white on that spider! My spider boy's been going at it too, he just won't leave them alone. LOL!

Yeah, mine was very eager to get started,lol. Do you think his high white sides will show up in his offspring?
I was thinking it's like pieds, the amount of white is variable.

It can be variable, but I still stand by the thought that selective breeding will have visible results in better looking offspring. My spider male is really light gold with a very reduced pattern and light head/eyes -- I've been trying to pair him only with very light colored, reduced females with the hopes of it having an effect on their offspring. Who knows if it actually will, but I think so. That's why when I buy animals, I strive to buy the nicest, prettiest ones I can find -- both morphs and normals. I feel that if your founding animals are nice, the offspring will be better quality.
