can you get him to send you a pic of the head and eyes that is clearer? It looks really dark to me, but otherwise seems like a nice snake

From what I can see, he looks nice. Good price in my opinion as well.

I just asked for another pic so i'll post it when i get it but he said he eats great and eats live rat pups every couple weeks he's had no problems with him and is producing sperms plugs and has locked up with a few of his females

Rat pups are WAY too small for that snake....I start my hatchlings out on rat pups......

Which gets me to another question in the first picture on the snakes belly doesn't it look skinny cause of the indent line going down the middle or is it just the way hes holding him?

That's a unique spider, from what I've seen. I've not seen one with spots like that one has along the neck.

That being the case, I would wonder what type of projects you would be going for with it. If it's just to have a spider in the collection, then cool, it's a pretty snake. But if it's to get a spider into your breeding collection, I don't think it's the best example of the morph. Obviously, JMO.

The price is pretty dang good for his size. If you were to breed him to some very reduced pattern girls, you might get some less-spotted babies. Just guessing on that, though.

It doesn't look all that skinny to me, either. Just not fat/full...

Price is good for him, He looks to be in good shape, other then switching the size of rats your going to feed him, then i see why not go for it!

Well its kind of for both i want a spider cause i like there looks and colors and i also want to breed it eventually to a pastel and make bumblebees its not really a money making type of thing at the moment at least if at all i just really like these snakes and bumblebees but there expensive for me so making my own is my best bet.Don't spiders usually go for like at least 200

Like I posted in one of your previous threads -- very interesting looking spider. It actually might make some interesting babies if you got it and eventually bred it.

Is there such a thing as a normal/spider pied? Because honestly...if you showed me a pic of the top third of the snake I would say it is a normal, and then showed be a pic of the bottom 2/3 I would say it is a spider.

For that price (if it is healhty) it might be a good pickup just to see what it might make for offspring.

Yeah i think i will probably get it i do kinda like it

But than again i want a nice pattern/color spider that when you look at it you definitely know its a spider for breeding purposes.I don't know i may get this one and than in a month I'm going to a reptile show and maybe i can find a better one there and also trying to get a pastel female

I'm going to get him Wednesday so i will put more pics up of him then and better ones

For $125 I'd buy him, especially at that size.

I agree, the price is definitely fair, and he doesn't look too bad, maybe a little dark.

Yeah he looks dark to me too but for the price i cant really let him pass if anything i can just buy another one if it comes down to it but i probably wont.I just cant wait till i breed him and see what the babies look like.

I'd say see it and see what you think in person! I do like the high white sides and nothing wrong with taking a day to think about it before buying!

I would do that but he lives like an hour and 30 mins from me so i don't really want to drive back up there i think I'm just going to buy it I'm going up in two days for 125 i cant really go wrong if anything i can buy another cant have to many snakes :)

nice spider. In my country you will pay 300$ for that size :D

i'd ask how bad his wobble is? imo.....but thats if you care about it... i know i would.
