for all you spider owners out there...

great looking spiders everyone.. just love them.

I figured I'd add a photo. My ideal Spider has a reduced pattern in that there are no spots; like Muddoc mentioned, he has that orange hue.. I am a fan of a little less high-whiteness, bu not low-white.. this guy fries my bacon!
(it is So hard to capture the orangeness on my camera; I gave up.)

Aleesha, heres a good test to put to a spider.


Hold the snake in your hand out in front of you, you want to have the whole snake in your hand. let it extend its head and neck out about 8-10 inches out from your hand.....then tap it on the nose, the worst ones will recoil quickly almost tying there self into a knot. very shocking thing to watch.

You can also just blow hard directly in its face and get a similar responce.

is head wobble a problem with spiders?

Or instead...you will get a bite on the nose or your finger!

Ditto Jason... Ooooo... name her Pamela! LOL.. Hott, barbwire, ... nevermind! And I'm with Danial & Tim... I love the highlighting as well.... good stuf!

Laura,
That snake happens to be nameless, as of a few minutes ago. Pamela is how she will be known. The one in the top right corner is also the same snake that is in the solo picture in my post. She also happens to be my ringer Spider. She is so shy, it is hard to get her out of a ball, and I can't get a good pic of her ringer mark. By the way I've tried since she hatched. if you look close in the solo pic, you can see the bright orange spot near her tail.
I love seeing all of the Spiders in this thread. Maybe we shouold start a morph/pic thread for every genetic trait.

don't all ball pythons recoil like that if you scare them with a hand in their face? I probably sound sarcastic right now but I'm not ... mine does that but I have nothing to compare the behavior to (he's a pastel)

Justin, Spiders are the most docile BP morph that I have ever seen, try that with a het albino and it may draw blood.

That has myth spelled all over it!! Bring one or 3 down here an I will test it!

That's no myth. ED nailed that one. I've got some Het Albino females that will take your bottom lip off if you tried that.

I was talking aobut the spiders. I now nothing about agressiveness in female albino hets. But how does a snakes genotype interfear with there attitude?!
