Anyone heard how the spider pieds are doing and growing up? Hopefully they feed like spiders.

Ok can anyone be more specific than this? Why do pieds never have a white head? Why does the mutation never manifest itself in the head/neck region?

I am not real sure why it does it but its just part of the deal with Pieds. Like green eyes on Spiders. It may have to do with which end of the snake the pigmentation starts developing in. But thats just a totaly left field, have only seen a couple of them in real life, no experiance with breeding them guess.

Hopefully most of the mutations are appearance only and the abnormal genes that make them look different don't also have any negative side effects. But after the spider twisting thing I wouldn't count on any breeders letting the public know if a few of them did.

I keep seeing the word Het next to a type of snake. What does this mean?
