What's the difference?
What is the difference between a Spider and a Pinstripe? I have seen some pins that have less of a stripe than my spider...is there more to it than just looks?

Their completely different genetically concerning the outward appearance. Morphs are generally looks, because in the end they are all ball pythons.

I understand they are all Python regius, but why do some pins look very similar to spiders and vise versa? My Spider has a stripe that almost goes completely down its back...what makes him different than a pin? I'm not trying to argue, but I would really like to know the specifics.

In my opinion pins and spiders look totally different. If there is a doubt the head pattern would give it away.

There's NO mistaking a Pin for a Spider or visa-versa just as YBs are not normals.

Agreed and excellent pics to show it.

Re: What's the difference?
How about the snake in my avatar. It's a young spider (I purchased from a breeder as a spider), but has a very prominant stripe? So...just because a snake has a stripe...doesn't make it a stripe?
Very nice pics BTW! I do think I see some of the differences with the pattern on the sides of the snake. Thanks!

I find, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that pins typically are a more rich brown and spiders have a lot more variance in their color, but are more of a golden brown. Also, some pins have stripes some spiders have stripes, some pastels or mojaves will have stripes, but just because it has a stripe doesn't really mean anything about the morph(they are really cool though imho). The snake in your picture is a spider, no doubt about it. I think Deb's pictures really compare the 2 very well.

Re: What's the difference?
Easy thing to remember. Spiders have thicker lines for lack of a better term than a pinstripe.
