Spider with VERY bright yellow back?

Today I saw in a shop a bunch of spider ball pythons. They do not look very well started to be honest, are quite small, and normally I would not consider buying them. They look like the "leftovers" that were not sold, although that sounds cruel I guess, sorry.

There was one spider in the bunch that just looked different. It has a VERY golden/yellow stripe on the back. Like vertically along it's back. Usually that area is a little lighter than the rest, but this one there is a very distinct yellow stripe there, that was very distinct from the browns on either side.

Is this common and just something I never noticed? Or is there something going on there?

Sorry no picture.

Ive seen some spiders that were bred from with pastel or bumblebee that come out with more yellow then the normal, maybe thats what happened?

Was it something like this?

Pictures don't do him any justice. He looks like someone took a yellow Hi-Liter pen to his back

There is a lot of variance in all ball pythons and this includes morphs. Doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary from your description. Might just be a higher quality spider standing out amongst standard or subpar specimens.

Looked kind of like the second picture except it had less black on the "spine" so there was more yellow showing. So this is just pretty common then? Also the band of yellow is wider. I assume that is what it looks like since you say the picture doesn't do it justice and I presume that in real life your snake color looks like the one I saw.

Yes, some have it some don't but most I have seen have it to some degree.

Some have high gold backs. Same thing goes for pins. Not too uncommon...

I love spiders with the yellow stripe. My first spider had it, and shes still my favorite.
