Getting a Spider

Well,

I will be getting my 5th addition coming this Sunday, I'm hoping.

The breeder describes her as "exceptional looking", unfortunatly there are only 2 pictures, but I was curious if you guys know what that means in a Spider, and how to identify it.

That's what I would call a nice spider, because of the really good gold coloration on it.

With qualifying statements on snakes it's really not possible to define them. Everyone has an opinion, and they're all going to be different. For instance, with spiders some people like really dark bold pattern, others like super muted. Some people like really gold spiders while others like darker ones. Some like ones with high white, while others will argue that the best are the ones with as little white as possible.

It's all up to what you think the spider looks like and whether you like it or not.

Ahh okay,

I know almost all of the spiders this breeder has look kind of like that.

What Ive noticed about that one is it has far less "alien spots" ( I think thats what they're called) and the pattern seems much neater.

In the beginning I was just looking for a female spider, she said she has 4 and one "exceptional looking" spider for 50 more..

I, being much like anyone on this forum felt 50 was a small price to pay for what a breeder would describe as "exceptional"

Well,

I picked this girl up last night and she is absolutely beautiful.

I was rather curious about the breeders feeding.

Could anyone provide some insight / explanation to this pattern?

I didnt get the chance to measure her, but as of Feb 6th, she was 278 grams.

Also,

I was pointing out the days, but I am more so concerned with the size of the mice.
