    Is this just a spider?

    Hi Iam new to ball python and I just bought a 1000 gram female spider ball python.

    She look so different. Almost looks like a desert pin. She is in the shed in the picture. She is actually much brighter !!

    Anyone know what she may be or just a spider?

    Whoa she's insanely cool! I want to see a pic when she isn't shedding! I couldn't tell you if she was anything else, but she sure looks extra cool for a spider!

    Re: Is this just a spider?

    I don't know a whole lot about morphs, but definitely doesn't look like a basic spider to me. The coloring and white sides definitely look like spider, but there must be some pinstripe or something else in there.

    What did you buy it as, and doesn't the seller know what it is??

    Cool pick up, though!

    I asked the seller. He said it come out from a spider to spider breeding. I don't know. I still get her.

    Wow! I have not seen a solid stripe spider in a couple years but that one is the best one I've seen. I can't say for sure if it is anything else but I'd breed her next year to see. Her reduced pattern is similar to a spinner (spider pinstripe) but she is so light with such high white sides that I just don't know.

    Could just be the best example of a spider.

    Oh wait.. If the add says spider stripe then it might mean spinner. Contact the seller and ask.

    Also don't rule out the possibility of it being the ever reclusive homozygous spider.. A super spider.

    I paid the price for just a spider. I am sure if there is something els with her, the seller will tell me and charge more.

    So maybe he doesn't know either.

    The seller said she is from a spider looks like her to a spider breeding. So he said he promise if I breed her to another spider, I will get babies like this. Should I do that?
