Cool news

I took my spider to NERD and they told me that I most likely have a vanilla spider! I always thought it was a little odd that she's soooo much brighter than any other spider I've ever seen. Now I know why! :D


*MissMishyyy*

Any pics?

Pics or it never happened lol

This is my most recent pic of her

this was a while back when I first got her.

Cool thing is she just seems to get brighter and even more pretty every shed.
I bought her for $100 as a plain spider. If she really is a vanilla, that would be great! But wether or not she is, she is the most beautiful spider I've seen (and I've been trying to find some that look like her) so I think my money was well spent! :D

He also said she could be het pied but idk how he could tell that? Lol


*MissMishyyy*

Guess you should breed her to prove it out.

I see a Fire het Pied male in her future!

I was planning on going with a pastel lesser but I'm thinking a lesser Het pied or something. I have to go redo all my gene wizard searches now to add in that vanilla. :) she will be up to breeding size next season so I've got plenty of time to find the perfect boy for her. :) def gonna try that het pied tho! The curiosity will kill me if I don't!!! :)

Vanilla spider eh? I dare not disagree with NERD but do you know the parents of her? To me she jus looks like a regular spider but I don't know much. I've always thought mine was bright too. Here he is:

He is a big boy at 1500g and a breeding machine. I don't know if you've seen spider pieds but there not my cup of tea so I wouldn't worry about finding a het pied. u may be into em however so best of luck to you.

He is beautiful! Jazmine is a rescue so I know nothing of her heritage. I couldn't even guess as to how old she is sadly. The guys told me the only way to know for sure is to breed her and prove it out. I've decided that I'm going to stick with my original plans for a pastel lesser because I really love the lesser spiders! I've also considered breeding her to another pretty spider and making more beautiful spiders. Like I said, either way I'm just happy that I have such a beautiful snake :)

That looks so incredibly awesome to me, hope she proves out.
Also, what a steal, a two gene girl for $100! Lucky duck!

My Leon is totally bright yellow on the bottom and bright gold on top.

Don't have a clue if that "means" anything but with each shed, he gets brighter and more colorful.

This is him as a young'un.

Yours has the same stripe as her on her back but mine isn't yellow. She is pale. Her colors are vibrant and defined but she's in the light brown-cream colors. And the whit of her belly goes more than halfway up her body.
It's amazing how beautiful these snakes can be :)

Yes they are and your girl is lovely!

I always thought Leon might be "weird"...LOL

Most Spiders have white on their sides but he has bright yellow/peach on his sides instead and his body color is very iridescent golden.

[The mark on his head looks like Frank the Bunny from Donnie Darko]....:rofl:
This is him when I got him....he was much darker as a baby.

It might sound funny but my favorite BP to watch is my normal girl, Iggy.

When she's cruising her tank, it's wonderful to just watch her move.

The light plays off of her golds, coppers, yellows and flames and she's a joy to behold.

[she's also my best 'periscoper' and I nearly OD on cuteness]......:oops:

I still can't get over how one snake can come in such a mind-boggling variety of colors and patterns.

They're the kaleidoscopes of the snake world.

:)

I would be surprised if that snake is a vanilla spider :confused:

Eh, you never know. I proved my spider as a vanilla spider this year. Nothing looked off when she when I got her other than being lighter than the others when I picked her out. Hard combo to spot.
