    Re: Favorable Spider Characteristics
    What do people mean by fully striped? If they mean a yellow stripe going down their backs with the spider webbing pattern on the sides, I don't particularily like that look myself. I DO like a black back spider with low pattern and no spots (so it looks like they have a chunk of barbed wire going down the middle of their back) High white/low white doesn't matter as much to me as the pattern.

    wobble
    I just bought a beautiful hi white male, very cheap, cause of high Wobble!! I love him, if nothing else he is a great snake around the kids, those that are squeamish at all. I swear he has no inner ear, if snakes have those. he lays in his tub upside down, looks like a puppy saying Scratch my belly!! I will see how he does as a breeder, he really is beautiful. Sorry not great at the pics dept.

    He is 1000 grams, bought him for $100 Woo Hoo

    We have the same taste so I second this. I'm not a fan of the high whites (although I do prefer that in Calico's/Sugars and Pied's)

    I would really reconsider breeding a snake with such a bad wobble, as it could pass on to his offspring... then you've got a bunch of wobbly babies, who might not eat and will be hard to sell. Just my two cents, take it or leave it. ;)

    To answer the original question, everyone has their own opinion on spiders - as for myself, I like a symmetrical back pattern, no side-spots, and medium white up the sides. I also love the spider faces, so a good "webby" head & face is appealing to me. Here's my yearling male spider, Vinnie, who I think is a good example of the morph. :)

    I don't believe that's true. From what I have read, it's a crap-shoot.

    To answer the question, I like any spider I can afford :D

    For me spiders are top of my must have list. I love Spiders and their combo's so for me it just depends.. I like symmetric patterns on the head and along the body. High white or low that really doesn't matter to me although I lean high white..

    So yea..

    Oh one thing..NO SPOTS.. if it has alien Head Spots it really has to shine else where for me to consider it a keeper.

    This is my perfect keeper
