    can you get him to send you a pic of the head and eyes that is clearer? It looks really dark to me, but otherwise seems like a nice snake

    From what I can see, he looks nice. Good price in my opinion as well.

    Which gets me to another question in the first picture on the snakes belly doesn't it look skinny cause of the indent line going down the middle or is it just the way hes holding him?

    That's a unique spider, from what I've seen. I've not seen one with spots like that one has along the neck.

    That being the case, I would wonder what type of projects you would be going for with it. If it's just to have a spider in the collection, then cool, it's a pretty snake. But if it's to get a spider into your breeding collection, I don't think it's the best example of the morph. Obviously, JMO.

    The price is pretty dang good for his size. If you were to breed him to some very reduced pattern girls, you might get some less-spotted babies. Just guessing on that, though.

    It doesn't look all that skinny to me, either. Just not fat/full...

    Price is good for him, He looks to be in good shape, other then switching the size of rats your going to feed him, then i see why not go for it!

    Well its kind of for both i want a spider cause i like there looks and colors and i also want to breed it eventually to a pastel and make bumblebees its not really a money making type of thing at the moment at least if at all i just really like these snakes and bumblebees but there expensive for me so making my own is my best bet.Don't spiders usually go for like at least 200

    Like I posted in one of your previous threads -- very interesting looking spider. It actually might make some interesting babies if you got it and eventually bred it.

    Is there such a thing as a normal/spider pied? Because honestly...if you showed me a pic of the top third of the snake I would say it is a normal, and then showed be a pic of the bottom 2/3 I would say it is a spider.

    For that price (if it is healhty) it might be a good pickup just to see what it might make for offspring.
