Awesome Jeff! I can't wait to see what you bring down to San Diego.

Re: Spider Genetic Stripe
Your looks similar in some ways, but she lacks the dark belly flecking and still has her head pattern. I'm not sure I'd call her a g-stripe spider, but I don't think she an ordinary spider either.
It would help if anyone else had a g-stripe spider we could see, to find out if they all have the dark belly markings or not.

What she said :)
I'm pretty sure it is not a genetic stripe spider. It is a very nice reduced spider though! Sometimes they just get that double dorsal stripe thing going on in the pattern. Here's a less extreme example (he's dark right now because he's in shed):

I've seen others, that are more reduced like yours, the above is just the only example I have on hand at the moment.
Other things that make me think that spider is the only gene at work here:
- You bought it as a spider
- The breeder said it was a spider
- Spider head pattern
- Color is off, especially no gray in the sides
Once again, very nice animal! I hope that pattern comes though in the offspring.
