Spiderbellies After Shed! Just had to show off!

These little beauties shed, and are doing great! 3.3 Spiderbellies and 0.1 Yellowbelly! Now on to getting them eating ;)

Was this an Ivory x Spider pairing? If so, you had fantastic results!

It was! I was SHOCKED when they hatched and I got 6 spiderbellies!

Sweet odds! Got to love when the sun shines on you from time to time! :thumbup:

Agreed! I'm hoping for the same odds with my piebald clutch that is due to hatch any day now!!

Purty babies. Congrats on a great clutch!

If you do, I'm renting a space in your incubator and sending any of my future clutches to you for safe keeping. :)

The hard part is deciding which of the males I want to hold back for breeding with a Super Pastel Butter next season. I need another rack! Haha!

Got a picture of just the males? I know a group of people that could help you out with that decision. :)

Great odds and nice looking babies.

And yeah, if you want help deciding, just throw up some pics of the ones you are considering. You'll get plenty of votes in all directions to add to your confusion. :D

I'll try to get the boys together this evening or tomorrow for a photo op ;)

I'm looking forward to that. Any belly pics you could get would be greatly appreciated! :D

Congrats! Its always a sign of relief when they shed and then start accepting food!

Congrats they all look great.

Nice Clutch! I hatched .2 spiderbellies last year and they are looking really good at 1000 grams.

Very nice! Congrats!!!

Alright, here are some pictures! Sorry they took me so long, been an insane couple of days with work!

I think I'm leaning towards the little guy on the bottom. He seems to have the most reduced pattern, but what is your opinion!?

Also, the guy on the upper left is very strange to me. I don't think I've ever seen a spider that has the "alien head" design, but it's very obvious that he isn't just a yellowbelly. Just a bad representation of the spider morph? Here's another pic of him alone:

If you think spiders can't have alien heads, check out this thread. You may still not know the answer (until that snake is bred and proven), but it is an interesting read:

As far as which one to hold back, I think I'd choose the upper right. It looks to me like the white comes higher up its sides and the color is a little more golden. Also, my personal preference in spiders is for them to be reduced in the sense of not having any alien eye type spots, but I like the spider pattern itself to be busy, and I think that one has the better pattern when judged by that standard.

Wow, thanks for the link. Informative thread! He looks completely unlike his yellowbelly siblings (was from an Ivory x Spider, so only Spiderbellies or yellowbellies) so I'm not concerned about it being mistaken with a yellow belly. Just hadn't seen one with such a strange, "non-spider" pattern.
