Thoughts on my spider?

    Thoughts on my spider?
    Ok. So I picked up this male last night, as of now he is my pet, no real plans to breed. Anyways, he was labeled "high white spider". I'm very new to ball pythons, I'm very familiar with leopard geckos but the ball bug has bitten me and I fell in love with them.

    Anyways, I have a few questions about him. First off, I don't see what would make him high white compared to other spiders I've seen online? Second, his belly isn't even white, it's almost yellow? Finally, most spiders I've seen online are much darker and have different shades or browning and almost to black, he is solid medium light brown pattern all over, very rarely does the brown color hue change. Is this just a typical spider or something else? I know the spider gene is 100% there that's to the wobbles and obvious visual appearance of him. Help is appreciated.

    I really like him! Some spiders have almost no white showing so thats why they where probably calling him a high white. I would say he is just a good looking spider!!

    id say high white due to its white sides most spiders dont have white sides. my spider also has yellow on his belly. as for his color id like to heve a bright spider like him mine is dark colored..

    Thanks for the input! I really do appreciate it! I got a killer deal on him that I couldn't pass up. His wobbles seem minimal while he is in his tank but as soon as I take him out it's game over, his head goes into a spiral. He ate fine for me, and has bred earlier in the season so if I decide to breed down the road I don't see any issues using him. I definitely like him over the spiders I see elsewhere just because he is so light colored.

    Never on this site. 99% of the people here are very nice and very knowledgeable as long as youre willing to listen and learn. Its only when "noobs" come here and get a bad attitude going that we can be slighlty unfriendly lol. :)
