Spider ball python

I was offered a spider ball python for $125 for almost 2 year old spider,stand,tank,lamps and all the decor is that a good deal? I don't mean to sound like a noob but this will be my 1st morph

Sounds like you're paying for the tank and stuff and getting the snake for free at that price.

What do spiders go for? I know he has like $250-$300 of tank supplies and what nots.

Depends on the quality. I've seen them as low as $50 and as much as $100 but your probably looking at $70-$75 on average.

Ok cool! Thanks,I'm studying up on different morphs,wanting to breed next season any sugestions? Or info would be very appreciated

Do you know if the spider is a male or female? If it's a female and already decent size then I would say go for it! But if you only plan on doing hobby breeding for fun then you can also use a male spider.

The guy said it was a male but I'm not sure gonna take him to a vet this week,the guy liked me and said he's gonna give me a rosy boa for free so I think I'll be coming out good on the deal

You do know, and understand about the spider "wobble" correct?:confusd:

Spider Morph is my first morph too. I only got mine on the 17th of July, and I'm still learning!

I paid £65 for mine- Without the setup (viv= £50, decor, around £28 and heating etc £40) So I paid about 180 for mine//
£120 is a good deal in my opinion. If you have the money, and you want the snake- go for it :)

And as albinos_rule said, the spider morph has a slight genetic defect. Their heads have a slight wobble when they are trying to keep still, and sometimes they corkscrew (when the head decides to go up-side down) Its just due to the inbreeding and crossbreeding done to get the desired morph. Its servarity varies with the individual, but if the guy who is selling it says he isnt that affected, that's brilliant. My boy has it, but it doesn't affect him at all. it is a little amusing too when he decides to go one way, and he suddenly turns upside down lol

I hope it goes well with you both. I look forward to hearing the updates :)
