With all the high end co dom morphs out there, you'll need female spiders to breed to. Most breeders(I think), prefer to use their higher end males on lower end female morphs. For instance, it would make more sense to breed a male cinnamon to a female spider than a male spider to a cinnamon because you can still use the cinnamon to breed other females. Cinnamon prices are higher than spider prices. At least, this is what I would do. Or how about this... if you had a lesser and a spider (your choice of sex), I bet you would go with a lesser male and female spider. Probably in the next decade, male spiders will be lower than females with the birth of newer codoms/doms.

I think thats just wishful thinking on the part of people holding spider females. They probably will end up worth more then males in the future, but that doesn't mean they will actually go up in price. I just think the males will drop below them.

I believe that they will be just like the female pastels. Its just taking longer for people to realize what you could do with a female spider and another reason is the super spider looks just like a reg. spider.

you should see the spider mojave, that thing is awsome.
Reniassance reptiles produced some ( I dont think I spelled that right)

'Bees, Spinners, Ghost Spiders, Albino Spiders, I'm waiting to see a Pewter/Spider cross! We're just getting started but I wouldn't expect to see the price go up, just stabilize.
