Need some help deciding on Axanthic & Spider
Hi there, I love spider morphs and axanthic morphs as well. I already have a bright pastel.
I've been looking around for a nice looking spider and axanthic.
This is the spider that I'm thinking of buying, she seems like a nice coloration and pattern, but I dont know much about these yet. What do you think?

This is the axanthic I found so far. At first I though he was beautiful, but then as I kept staring at the picture, I noticed he is not realy black and silver. He has a lot of brown or red, cant tell too good from this picture. Do axanthics lose their silver coloration as the grow old? I dont want to spend the money in something I wont be satisfied with later =(

IMO not bad examples of either. I'm super picky about both my axanthics and my spiders so you have to look for the right things.
I like reduced pattern medium to high white spiders. As few dots or "O"s as possible.
Axanthics I go for as light as possible. As high contrast as you can get.
If your picky and you like them then that's all the matters :D
Best of luck!

I like the spider actualy, is the axanthic Im concerned about, since I dont know much about them. Is it normal for them to lose their silver coloration? I want an axanthic that will give of nice silver morphs later down the long road.
Could you post some pics of your spider and axanthic?

Axanthics do tend to brown out as they grow older...some to the point that it's hard to tell if an adult axanthic is a normal or not. As I understand it, the BEST line for holding their silvery color and high contrast is VPI's line, but even with those, the adults never looks as purely black & silver as the babies do. I personally, would always try to buy a VPI Axanthic, if I were shopping for one.

The breeder said it is a VPI axanthic, I forgot to post that little detail I guess. Again I dont know much about axanthics :O :taz:
