I found the genetics wizard and thought it was neat i think the results look wrong so ill ask the pros. if cross these shouldnt i possibly get normals spiders and pastels as well as the combos? with 1 being homo ghost and the rest being 100% het thanks for the imfo im just geting started with breeding and wanted to anticipate the outcome on this pair.

how bad are my odds for hitting a humblebee?

There have not been any documented homozygous spiders, so I think the male has a spider mutant gene paired with a normal gene (AKA heterozygous spider). And the subject starts "pastel het ghost" rather than super pastel het ghost, so I think the pastel has a pastel mutant gene paired with a normal gene (AKA heterozygous pastel).

If those revisions are correct, then then expectation is
1/16 spider pastel ghost (bumblebee ghost?)
3/16 spider pastel (bumblebee) (66% probability het ghost)
1/16 spider ghost
3/16 spider (66% probability het ghost)
1/16 pastel ghost
3/16 pastel (66% probability het ghost)
1/16 ghost
3/16 normal-looking (66% probability het ghost)

1/16 = 6.25%
3/16 = 18.75%

Actual percentages of genotypes among the babies may differ from the expected percentages simply through the luck of the draw.
