Golddust Spider

Have ya'll seen the golddust spider??

YouTube - NARBC REPTILE SHOW CHANTILLY VA 11-15-08 WITH SNAKEBYTESTV

Alan

I haven't seen the golddust before now, but I did give Brian the idea for the name. He emailed me awhile back once he hatched it out, and he said it reminded him of the Golden Child Retics, but didn't want to call them Golden Child Balls, so I said why not Golddust Spiders? He said he was going to name them that, but this was the first I heard that he actually did! Not sure if he said it in the video, but it is a Super Opal Spider if I remember right?

Cool

Great morphs out there!

is brian god

I saw it in person this weekend...its Bad A$$...also the pastel cammo is amazing!

no so much on the gold dust spider but HOT DANG, that ghost pewter is sexy!

He said it's a brand new morph out of Africa that they just proved to be co-dom. Last I knew, opals were just a line of pastel.

Now I know SOMEONE had to have gotten pics of that. Everyone's been waiting a loooong time to see that animal. ;)

That video was very nice. I think I have seen one of his vids before. The golddust spider sounds pretty cool. I would like to see a closeup shot of it. I have never heard of the golddust project. I would also like to some closeup shots of that project...

Also that super cinny lavy sounds like it will be pretty HOT!! :bow:

Yeah, I went back and heard that too, but I am 99% sure he told me Super Opal Spider, maybe not, I'll find out next time we talk.

Man sometimes i have dreams im brian and i keep all my snakes!!:bow:

gimme gimme gimme that that ghost pewter and pastel camo and lavender!:banana::banana:

Hm...could someone post a picture instead of a video. The only internet access I have is at school and I can't watch any of the videos here...

lav super cinny? Just wow......

The golddust spider is pretty cool. It looks to have taken away all the spider's pattern.

I can`t wait to see the Lavender albino super cinny:O!

That's exactly what I've been wondering.

The Super Black Pastel Pied is in this video...Anybody else see it?

It's kind of like where's Waldo...lol

I saw a black Pied in the same enclosure as a Black Pastel, but no Super Black Pastel Pied.

Not even sure if it was really produced.

From what I know. Opal is the name of the Super Pastel, but rarely used.

Yeah I've heard the same. I actually think that Kevin McCurly refers to the super pastel as an opal in "The Complete Ball Python". I could be wrong, I don't have it with me here at work (I should just get a copy to keep here lol).

Those are some great looking snakes there! I wish we had a show like that up in this area. I was so pissed, I went to the Manchester NH show (which is pretty much the only decent sized one up this way) and all that was there was some low end ball morphs not even a single pied! JNJ was there and they definitely had some of the best looking balls there but other than that it sucked :tears:lol.

C'mon we've been waiting for months to see the super black pastel pied! I can't really pick it out of a grainy youtube video but I'm guessing it was one of the ones on that whole table of piebalds they had there.

That is definately something sweet and different looking!

I'd like to see a big still pic of that gold dust spider. Brian says that it's a co-dominant mutation??? If that is the homozygous form, what does the heterozygous form look like? What does it look like without the spider influence? It's kind of interesting, but it's difficult to see it clearly with the video camera.

Mark,
I doubt we will be seeing the base morph anytime soon. A popular way to introduce a new morph is to show either the super or a combo -- in the Goldusts' case -- both. Secrets are secrets after all;).

Just to clarify the Golddust Spider, I talked to Brian, and he said that is a "Black Opal" that is a codom morph, but not a pastel, combined with a Spider, sorry for the confusion I caused, I just remembered the Opal part. :oops:

I hope not, I really hate secrets. When I was a little kid I was hard to live with around Christmas time... My Parents used to have to keep the wrapped presents locked up in the trunk of the car so I wouldn't open them early... :frustrate :taz::D

What's a Black Opal? Is that what he's calling the Heterozygous form? Or is that some other mutation? The only Opal I've ever heard of was the Superpastel, but I don't think too many people call them opals anymore.

Yes the Black Opal is what they call the Heterozygous form, and they are not a pastel or anytype. He also says not many people call the super pastels Opals anymore, so he calls the Het form of this morph Black Opal.

I love the hypo pewter, definitely one of my favorites. That lavender albino cinny was pretty cool too. :D

Thanks for sharing!

Somebody posted a a Black Opal clutch on KS last spring -- not Brian. I also saw a UTUBE video about 3 weeks ago of 2 guys cutting a clutch of what they were referencing as "Black Opals". I thing that was the name of the vid as well. The guy doing the cutting sounded just like Brian to my ear. The Black Opal was a dark granite type morph. I think a super was hatched in that KS post. I think I'll do little search while I am waiting for my feeders to be delivered!!!

I think I know the video you are referring too, I saw it as well, and that was Brian you hear, and it was Brian talking and it was Aaron's (From A&B Reptiles) eggs, he used to work with Brian. The super form, from talking to Brian today, is alot like a super chocolate, except the super form of the Black Opal is a irradescent shiny brown with gold spots, as opposed to the dull brown on the chocolates.
