    Reasonable pricing on spider ball?
    I love the pattern of spiders and was just wondering on a rough estimate on how much a 'basic' spider goes for

    CRBE(canadian reptile breeders expo) is sept 13/14th and I'm looking to get my first ball. Although it may be smarter to just get a cheaper normal as a first one.. I love the pattern on spiders and I don't want to over spend on one as it would be my first and I have no experience in pricing of them.

    Appreciate any help I receive.
    Thanks.

    well damn that was a fast response lol... have prices dropped that fast? I went to an expo where I live and december and remember seeing spiders for like two-300$... unless they had other morph traits as well but it was only labelled 'spider'

    They should be cheap, especially at an expo. I would say 50-60 for a hatching male and maybe 75-90 for a female. Make sure to research the spider wobble and to ask the breeder you buy from the extent of the wobble in any spiders that you are interested in before making a purchase.

    Yea i was very cautious in buying him he had no wobble

    interesting... never even heard of the wobble before.. seems like an odd little trait. Of course it would happen to be a common thing in the kind of ball that I like.. lol

    I suppose it can be fatal?

    It depends ppl saybit can be but only in VERY severe cases where they cant eat but its very rare to see it that bad

    It's not a deal breaker, just something to be wary of. I own a spider female and she's fine.

    Yea i have a female normal that has a little wobble and its nothing bad. Only when she gets excited lol.

    haha well maybe as a first ball it wouldnt be the best choice.. as I would probably worry way to much.

    Are there any other nice looking morphs that are like 0-two hundred $ range.. i suppose pastels are cheap, dunno what else


    Sorry for questions(feel like a complete noob in this)

    Also this is just going to be a personal pet.. I have no intention of ever breeding them so really even a cheap low end morph works even if "less desired" in the trade
