New Spider Ball

Heres my new spider that I am going to raise up to be a future breeder.He was selectively bred,weights 320 grams and not mass produced at a snake factory in the midwest. :) https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...spiderball.JPG

Right on Ed - Nice Spider :rockon:

LOL Ed. He looks great glad to know he doesn't come from a "puppy mill"

This guy was produced by Sean and Celia down in Louisiana, I like to bring in a couple new morphs every year. that keeps the bloodlines strong and you have no problems with inbreeding. you have little to no control over inbreeding when you are just mass producing a morph. :)

OH come on we know you photochopped out the certain letters from a certain vendor in the midwest....;)

Not too bad for a "middleman":P, can I have it when Joe puts you out of business? :P LMAO:rofl:

All joking aside, nice Spider Ed ;)

Nice roast!

Spiders r so freakin awesome looking!!!! :cool: :carrot: :taz: :sunny: :salute: :rolleye2:

Chris, spiders are awesome, but what you can make with them is super awesome. Dont look for that going out of business sale anytime soon. ;) https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil.../spiderman.JPG

Ed, I hope you caught the extreme sarcasm in my post, that was not a jab at you in anyway LOL.....and I hear ya on the Spider combos, I actually dont care too much for Spiders, but I love Bee's of all sorts ;) next years project includes LesserBees, I cant wait:D

Chris, the humor is always welcome. I hear ya on the lessers. Im gonna do something with them, not sure what at this point.:salute:

Can inbreeding cause problems?

If animals with genetic problems are being breed problems can occur.

For instance, any responsible breeder will not breed any spiders that have head wobbles in hopes of outbreeding the trait so much that the condition no longer exists. But is someone is solely interested in the money, do you really think that they care if they could be passing on a genetic flaw?

There are several other instance where inbreeding can be a problem. However if the animals are healthy, then inbreeding should not be an issue until you get past the second generation.

Wow! Lovely spider there!!!!

Brad. Thank you, please pass the A-1 sauce. :rolleyes:

Nice Spider, Ed! Here's hopin for lots of Bees for ya!

Lets sprinkle around a little spider love. :) https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...spiderlove.JPG

I really like that bottom spider.... Head pattern is super cool, and the rest of the reduced spider patterning is awesome!

Ken, I choose to keep the bigger of the two. because he is growing faster and will be another breeder male, quickly. If there was ever two different personalities in snakes these two are night and day. the one in the front is very shy and the pic. shows that, the complete opposite is the one in the back, hes very outgoing and inquisitive. look at the look hes giving. :P

Ed awesome spider's man!!!! Bumblebeeeee'sss
