Is this just a spider?

Hi Iam new to ball python and I just bought a 1000 gram female spider ball python.

She look so different. Almost looks like a desert pin. She is in the shed in the picture. She is actually much brighter !!

Anyone know what she may be or just a spider?

Whoa she's insanely cool! I want to see a pic when she isn't shedding! I couldn't tell you if she was anything else, but she sure looks extra cool for a spider!

The ad on kingsnake says spider x stripe. I dont know what the mean by "stripe" though.

Thanks. i will update pictures next week when she finish her shed. Would like to find that could that be genetic. She is almost 1000 gram anyway.

I don't know a whole lot about morphs, but definitely doesn't look like a basic spider to me. The coloring and white sides definitely look like spider, but there must be some pinstripe or something else in there.

What did you buy it as, and doesn't the seller know what it is??

Cool pick up, though!

I asked the seller. He said it come out from a spider to spider breeding. I don't know. I still get her.

Wow! I have not seen a solid stripe spider in a couple years but that one is the best one I've seen. I can't say for sure if it is anything else but I'd breed her next year to see. Her reduced pattern is similar to a spinner (spider pinstripe) but she is so light with such high white sides that I just don't know.

Could just be the best example of a spider.

Oh wait.. If the add says spider stripe then it might mean spinner. Contact the seller and ask.

Also don't rule out the possibility of it being the ever reclusive homozygous spider.. A super spider.

I paid the price for just a spider. I am sure if there is something els with her, the seller will tell me and charge more.

So maybe he doesn't know either.

The seller said she is from a spider looks like her to a spider breeding. So he said he promise if I breed her to another spider, I will get babies like this. Should I do that?

Or if it is in fact a "super" spider, then if bred to a normal you should get all spiders??

Smokin reduced Spider!:gj:

To prove if it is a super would take a few breedings. Don't breed it to a spider. Then you'd never know. Breed it to a normal. Or to a double gene color morph. For instance. If you breed it to a super pastel, every baby would be a bumblebee if it was a super spider. The problem is, in order to rule out the possibility of simply having amazing luck, you would have to do this breeding every year for at least 3 clutches. Every baby ever produced would have to have the spider gene in it. Then you could safely say it was a super spider.

Super reduced pattern spider!
It possible its a Super really nice!

I agree with breeding her to a normal just to see if you possibly got the first known Super Spider! Can you send me a pic? Your pic is not working for me! I would love to see her!!!

If its just a spider, its the sickest spider I've ever seen. Very nice!

I have produced spiders with a lot of striping. That to me looks like an extreme example.

Looks like a nice reduced striped spider. Hatched a couple out over the years, not quite that extreme mind you, Defiantly a good find!

I love a reduced pattern anything...but the best example of a Spider will have some pattern...and no spots... :D

For best results with offspring, breed it to a multi-trait color combination male.

great pickup!

Wow that's a good score!!! She is insane looking. Very very nice

Reminds me a lot of Ed's female spider that he produced and I still lust after to this day.

just wanted to say she is a beautiful spider good luck with her :D:D

Wasn't someone selling strider balls(striped spiders) on KS awhile back(last year?)
Or is that a different thing all together? :P

That is a very nice spider! Good luck

That's the best spider I've laid my eyes on.

Thanks everyone!

GORGEOUS!!!! Best Spider EVER!

I'd definitely breed her to the one in your avatar, if it's male... If nothing else, breed her to another spider. Unless you think she's the super spider, then breed her to anything!

super spiders :rolleyes:

Hey it's possible Jerry.. The OP did say it came from a spider to spider breeding.

Wow!!!
