A couple of breeding questions.

nhballpython Aug 18, 2008 08:55 PM

I was wondering what the average number of females you can breed to a male in a season?
And also is there a super form of spider?
thanks in advance

Good rule of thumb is 4 or 5 females to each male. This will vary from situation to situation just like everything else does. There is no visual super form to the spider. Some people believe if there was a super spider it would look the same just produce 100% spider offspring when bred to a normal. Far as I know noone has proven this.

I thought the spiderxspider offspring were generally not-viable... I've heard the term "Dead Morph" b/c they don't live past the neonate/juvinile stage.... called a pearl morph... ?

I may be thinking of something completely different though... so PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong...

Pearl morph will be from woma x woma. As for super spider. There has been a few that did that and non has lived so far. No one knows why.

As soon as I posted, I was thinking that the pearl was from a woma... I get a lot of info lost in my marbles up in my head some times...

interesting though...
