Spider vs. Spider fire

Going to going to take a look at a "fire spider" later, but how exactly do you tell the difference? I've googled some images of normal spiders and fire spiders and honestly some of them seem very similar.

Looks pretty different to me: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/fire-spider/

Where did you find this snake? Do you have any pics you can post? What is the asking price?

No price discussed yet, possibly doing a trade. I'll take a picture tonight and upload it before I make any decisions.

I'm having the same issue with a spider "het pied het axanthic" how do you tell? (no paper work).

You dont. This is why you buy hets from a reputable breeder. I was just offered a female pastel het clown for $600. Great price only I dont really know the guy very well So I will be passing on this.

Fire spiders have a very distinct, reduced appearance and burnished gold pigmentation. They're more subtle than some of the other combos, but still easily to tell apart from a normal spider. The pattern elements (spider webbing) will most likely be a rich cocoa brown instead of black on larger specimens.

I think its just one of those morphs you have to see in person. Photos dont show its differences that well they are much brighter than normal spiders and more sort of creamy when they age.
