New spider Ball!

so today, i was at Scales N Tails up in denver. i saw a cool little spider ball python. and i asked to see it. well what he took out was this little tiny hatchling spider ball. :snake: i checked him for mites: no mites, he was just slithering in my hands freely. He was beautiful to boot! the price on him was $249. seemed reasonable, but as a buyer, i asked him if he would take $189 for it... HE DID!!! great price for a great snake. (i held him for an hour and a half)! when i go him home i tried feeding, and amazingly he took it! a great feeder. i will get some photos of him up as soon as i can. also he weight 67g, and he is 3 months old. is that normal, is he a runt?:confused:

Awesome buy! I demand pictures!!

My hatchling Spider is about 3-4 months old and around 70-somethin grams so I'm sure yours is just fine.

I just got a spider yesterday too. Mine is 2 years old though and I plan on breeding him as his colors are really nice for one his age. He weighed in at 734 grams =) Here are some fun pics of mine. Let's see yours.

my spider male was hatched out aug 7, he weighs about 140 gms.

edited to add: my blackback pastel was hatched on aug 6, she weighs about 82 grams

Maybe he was a slow starter or wasnt being fed enough, or whatever other reason. Dont worry about it anymore if he is eating and he is in ur hands :D

If you feed him every 4-5 days, he should grow some in no time!

Seems like alot of people are getting spiders lately, including my self =)!

She is somewhere between 2-3months old.

They will grow at different rates..... But a 3 - 4 month old at 70 grams seems a little small. I have a female bel and a lesser male, both from same clutch hatched june 1st '09. Both were fed every five days for first three months, and are now on 7 day feeding schedule.....Bel weighs 678 grams and the lesser weighs 422 grams.....but just a note, they weighed more than 70 grams out of the egg......

New post with photos on the fourm!!!!

Mine male is around the 3 month age and is at 108g. But as stated before as long as he is eating and is in your hands he will be just fine!!
