Here is a site with a cool punnett square calculator.

Here is what I came up with:
6.25% Normal
6.25% Pastel
18.75% Spider
18.75% Bumblebee
6.25% Mojave
6.25% Pastave
18.75% Mojave Spider
18.75% Pastel Mojave Spider (Not sure what these are called)

P.S. I lumped the homozygous spiders together with the heterozygous spiders. I don't know if two copies of the spider gene is lethal. Maybe someone else can comment on their experiences with Spider X Spider pairings. I haven't tried it.

I think the spider gene is not a co-dominate trait, but a dominate one...just no difference in a homogeneous animal than a 'het' animal, unlike a co-dom trait like a pastel/super pastal.
