    Picking this little girl up on saturday, could she be a pastel butter spider. What do you think??? She is still very young and I only have one pic of her waiting on more pics.

    Just noticed you said could she be, sorry. I don't believe she has butter in her. But I am not very experienced in morph ID.

    Ok thanks
    Im new to the morph thing as well and just don't want to get played again.
    Apparently mother was a spider and father was a pastel butter.
    So what would that make her?

    That would make her a spider.. Because that's what she is. You don't automatically get snakes that are a combo of everything that was in both parents when you breed. With that pairing the outcome could have been any number of butters, spiders, pastels, bumblebees, butterbees, or normals.

    Hmm.. She's very bright, but not super high quality according to me. She has very distinct side markings. I'd like my spiders to be more reduced pattern. She's colorful, though. Congrats!
    She is just one of the eggs the butter gene didn't get to. There is a certain chance in each egg to hit a multiple gene bp.

    You won't get played if you only buy from reputable and known breeders. Doesn't matter if they are small time breeders like me, or the big guys like NERD, doing your homework on the seller will keep you from getting cheated.

    I personally won't buy from anyone that I can't find references on. The BOI on fauna, their trader ratings, this forum here has an area for buyer/seller feedback. Even in Facebook there are plenty of reptile oriented groups where everyone knows everyone else and they always post about their purchases and sales. Not just the classifieds sections either. There are a lot of regional groups for reptiles so you should see if there is one geared towards your area.

    When all else fails and you are not sure if a snake is what it's supposed to be, check world of ball pythons. If its not on there, and chances are it is, then we are here to help.
