Sausage Snake

Otherwise known as my slightly deformed Spider female ;) And yes, she's as cute as she looks.

Her problems include; having a kink in her neck behind her head, resulting in a half-as-long-as-supposed-to-be neck, a shortened lower jaw which is triangular in appearance and a shortened tongue, which only sticks out as far as the two forks. Other than her disabilities, she eats like no tomorrow, sheds very regularly, and grows.. The growing seems to be going in a sideways direction, fat lardy thing. Her length isn't doing a whole lot.

If this is the spider I am thinking it is(hehe tim,:P), she was born that way. Becky, I imagine she will be a pet, but are you gunna breed her? She's so pretty!

No, she's not from Tim. She's a BHB baby from Daytona. When she was a hatchling, and alot thinner, it wasn't noticeable. Now, the deformities really show and you can feel the kink in her neck.

The general concensus was egg stress, and if she gets up to size without any problems, then I may breed her. She does everything normally, and looks like a little bull dog when she constricts her prey. I guess the shorter neck gives her an advantage ;)

She may grow out of it, she may not, but she's not going anywhere. I'm feeding everyone tonight so I'll see if I can get a shot of her constricting. She's on large mice now, and generally wants a second or my arm..

She is really gorgeous!! I'd breed her in a heart beat and cross fingers it was just egg stress.... What a beauty!!

aww...she doesn't LOOK deformed.....She is a cutie patootie too! And I luv her "chunky"!!!! :love:

no matter what she is a HOT spider! Explain what egg stress is if you could?

She's one of the nicest spiders I've seen. I love how clean and smooth her coloration is.
