Hi,

I love looking at pictures of peoples snakes simply because it lets me get a better idea of the variation in each morph and so decide on what I like.

A year ago I would have sworn blind my fave spiders were ultra-reduced low whites - almost solid gold with black x's down the spine looks amazing to me.

But then someone posted a picture of a blackback spider with lots of alien eyes in the side pattern and I thought it was a stunning looking snake. But until I saw it I would have sworn blind I didn't like that kind of spider.

I still like low white spiders but prefer high white bumble bees ( mainly thanks to Ed's it has to be said ).

The variablility is amazing in these animals and for those of us who cannot get to shows easily online photo's are probably the only way we will ever see enough of them to know about it.

It also gives me a feel for what combo's I like best and might be able to make in the future - can you imagine spending thousands of dollars and 3-5 years just to make a combo you then realise you didn't like as much as you thought you would?
