    Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    These are the 3 in which I'm thinking of getting and having a hell of a time deciding. I doubt any of these would be used for breeding so assuming they aren't, which would you guys choose? I know this is a bit of a weird one but I'm more or less looking for people's favorites.

    Re: Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    Either the spider or the albino.. both of those are so far away from the "normal" ball python that they would be easy to spot as a morph.

    I agree... Spider or Albino. If I had to choose I would go with the Spider.. Only because I am not very fond of Albinos alone.

    Or a nice white BEL.

    Re: Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    That's the idea. I want something that someone will be able to look at and know that it's not a normal ball however, I don't want to kill the pocket book right yet. I first thought I wanted an albino but lately something about the spiders is just doing something for me

    Re: Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    You really can't go wrong with either.. I love spiders, but I'll tell you there's something about pulling a big ole albino out to show people too that really get's excited. I mean with a spider you'd still have to explain what it is, with an albino it's instant people know an albino from a mile away..

    Re: Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    All 3 why and in order.

    I have all 3 for very different reasons, Spiders I just been crazy about them their combos is just amazing.

    Albinos I think are a classic and a all time favorite for many people.

    What lead me to Mojave was the Mystic Potion after seeing that combo I knew I had to have one.

    I know I am not helping.

    i know its just a pet but EVERYONE loves albinos. theyre pretty cheap for males now and they are obviously albino. they also retain value well if youre looking at it from a business standpoint.

    Re: Mojave vs Spider vs Albino

    I am going against the grain here. I LOVE my mojave. She can not be confused with a normal. lol I have to say though I am getting my albino on the 15th and cant wait. The albinos are more money but if you have it and don't mind spending the money then the albino is great. If you want a killer looking snake for less go with the Mojo. If you get a good one they are hot snakes and are very very beautiful.

    Since you say you most likely won't breed them, then you just want it as a pet. In that case, it is even more important to get what YOU like than it is when you plan to breed.

    If part of what you will like is to be able to wow your friends when you show off your snakes, get the albino. Even non-snake people instantly see the difference between an albino and a normal, and although some people are put off by the red eyes, most people like them.

    Spiders and mojaves are both beautiful, but they don't have the same wow factor.

    Since you say you've been leaning more towards a spider recently, make sure you know about their wobbles before you make a decision.
