Question RE: reduced pattern morphs

darkbloodwyvern Mar 25, 2008 01:16 AM

I have a question. If an individual spider or pastel has a very reduced pattern, will they pass on the reduction to their young? Does it require another parent with a weird pattern? Or is is variable, some look like the reduced parent, other look like relatively regular spiders or pastels. I know piebalds can produce hi and low white offspring regardless of their own appearance, does anyone know how it works for something like a spider?

thanks!

The Non Morph Parent DOES have an influence . I have consistantly produced Clean an Reduced Spiders & Normals from the same Female for 3 years now...You be the judge. Second picture is of Mom and Dad , First is " Tricky "(she's tricked out ), she is staying right here for future projects for here genetics ,and not just the Spider side of her Genes .So in my experience , clean non morph parents produce cleaner offspring .
