hey,....I would not be terribly inclined to give up totally on this....At worst it is an AB-normal.....I see the markings on the face. What could be happening is that your "normal" female is not a normal either. You could try growing out one of the male ab-normals and breeding it back to its mother. You never know. Everyone thought yellow bellies were Normal too and we all know what they can do. Ebony ball, ivory, Super stripe, etc.........But it could be absolutely nothing at all. WHO KNOWS unless you try... Feed up one of the ab-normal males and he should be of breeding size by next season for sure. suggest a minimum weight of 500g but prefer 750-1000. Worst case scenario you get a bunch of really nice baby normals BEST CASE you find a new gene!!.....How bad can it be you struck out on the whole spider thing this year and got "normals"..It is a bit of a gamble, but stranger things have happened....lee
