Found this little one at Petco and couldn't leave it behind

So I stopped in Petco for some supplies and checked out the BP's as always even though I never buy from there but when I seen this little one in a tank with a bunch of normal I grabbed it right away. I am pretty sure its a spider after some research. What do you all think? They sold it to me as a normal to for $50, so either way I am happy with this little cutie!

I know zip about BP genetics but it doesn't look like a "normal" to me...pretty snake, hope she does well for you.

Thanks! Yes, I know def. not a normal. Look like s spider to me with the pattern. So I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here so hopefully they can let me know if I am right.

looks like a Spinner almost; Pinstripe Spider.

while i would usually go into a paragraph-long spiel about buying animals from big-box stores, you've already brought the little guy home and i just wish them a long healthy life with you. [emoji4]

I know I usually only buy supplies there, NEVER buy animals from PetSmart or especially Petco, but I don't know I seen him/her in there and you can tell they aren't cared for properly and I just grabbed the little one.

It's so much easier to talk about never buying from such stores than to actually turn away once you've seen one that's hard to resist...

Exactly!

Any other opinion on spider??? :)

I cant look away from its head. Its not a normal for sure. Its head is similar to a clown but its not a clown. Im still learning, but i could see spinner as a poss as well.

Yes when I seen it I was like thats mine! 🤣

Looks like a regular Spider to me. Pretty little noodle :D

Yup! It's a spider.

As a heads up, since you just took the little one home, it may be pretty stressed. Spiders can have a tendency to 'wobble'. The severity depends on the snake and stress levels definitely help to bring it out. It's kind of like an inner ear disorder in people.

My spider only wobbles when she gets stressed out with tub cleanings. She's highly defensive so she starts striking at everything, then gets herself confused if I don't keep her covered over and balled up.

The wobble is usually just some confusion with ups and downs when being held. Some extreme cases will corkscrew a bit. Usually it just makes feeding time a little more of a challenge the first couple times until they destress tho.

Have fun with your new noodle and let us know if you have more questions!

Thanks! I did read a bit about the wobble and all and have been watching and havent seen any signs yet. And they couldnt tell me the date of last feeding so i am going to offer some later and see how it goes. But did handle theblittle one before placing in tank and seemed fine. No aggressision or signs of wobble
