Certain people are just particularly known for having above average specimens of certain morphs or species.

Not all spider ball pythons are the same, not all pastels are the same, not all bumblebees are the same. Some people consistently produce better looking versions of a particular ball python morph, and from what I've seen of Ralph Davis' animals, he is one of them.

I never look for the cheapest, ugliest specimen of what I'm looking for. I pay more, and so far I've always gotten more.
Uhhh....how about just ask for pics before buying??? And if you really want to go the extra mile, ask for pics of the parents...a great looking spider from RDR is no more valuable than a great looking spider from joe blow...please explain how that doesn't make sense...
