Sorry the pics aren't great. But I hope this helped with your decision.

i think I've decided on a pastel! I've been looking into the head wobble of spiders and am not big on the idea at all. Are there any other morphs in the same price range you guys think i should consider before making my purchase?

Possibly a Mojave?

They should still be pretty bold and have a lot of yellow on them. Don't waste your time on a dull/dark pastel baby, pastels brown/dull with age just like any other so you need some wiggle room!

As for spiders, I like them really clean and bright. I was lucky and have a friend near by who has a bright/high gold spiders and picked up a fantastic one from him. He's trying to talk me into picking up a female spider from him this week :colbert: But I probably will especially if she's like his other spiders!!!

My pastel, he's a decent lemon '08

thats a bright spider

Your best bet with a pastel is to get one that glows as a baby and indeed look at the price. The cleaner pastels are always marked higher than the rest but are well worth it. I paid an extra 100 compaired to the rest of the female pastels just because how amazing she looked. Here she is at 2 years old and 1600 grams. As you can see what you pay for is what you get.

The wobble does not affect the health of the animal. It's extremely rare that the wobble is debilitating in spiders, it does happen in multiple gene breedings. If you are against the spider wobble you're against anything with the spider gene in it, bumblebees, lesserbees, spider albinos, etc. Breeding a spider with horrible wobble can result in babies with very minimal wobble and the same goes with spiders with minimal wobble having babies with horrible wobble. It's all a roll of the dice. (Womas fall into the same boat)

Yeah he's awesome! I'm excited to get some babies out of him this season :please: He's a breeding monster.

I'm probably one of the few who likes a "dirty" looking spider. I like a lot of pattern, though it still has to be bold and distinct and with high white sides. I also like any snake that has a lot of yellow, so when I found my spider male, I fell in love... though his wobble has gotten progressively worse with age, so at this point I'm on the fence when it comes to breeding him (will always be my favorite little guy, though). Luckily, I still have the name of the breeder I got him from ;)

Here's his picture:

I still have yet to get some good color pictures of my 2010 pastel female, but she's coloring up wonderfully! A blushing yellow beauty :)

I guess it just depends on your personal preference. Go with whatever snakes look the most appealing to you :gj:
