Favorable Spider Characteristics

[h00blah]

my dream spider is low white, high gold/yellow, low wobble, cool head pattern, and full stripe, no dots

What do people mean by fully striped? If they mean a yellow stripe going down their backs with the spider webbing pattern on the sides, I don't particularily like that look myself. I DO like a black back spider with low pattern and no spots (so it looks like they have a chunk of barbed wire going down the middle of their back) High white/low white doesn't matter as much to me as the pattern.

I just bought a beautiful hi white male, very cheap, cause of high Wobble!! I love him, if nothing else he is a great snake around the kids, those that are squeamish at all. I swear he has no inner ear, if snakes have those. he lays in his tub upside down, looks like a puppy saying Scratch my belly!! I will see how he does as a breeder, he really is beautiful. Sorry not great at the pics dept.

He is 1000 grams, bought him for $100 Woo Hoo

I like low white, high gold and a reduced pattern

I like very little wobble, reduced, low white, high gold!

We have the same taste so I second this. I'm not a fan of the high whites (although I do prefer that in Calico's/Sugars and Pied's)

I would really reconsider breeding a snake with such a bad wobble, as it could pass on to his offspring... then you've got a bunch of wobbly babies, who might not eat and will be hard to sell. Just my two cents, take it or leave it.

To answer the original question, everyone has their own opinion on spiders - as for myself, I like a symmetrical back pattern, no side-spots, and medium white up the sides. I also love the spider faces, so a good "webby" head & face is appealing to me. Here's my yearling male spider, Vinnie, who I think is a good example of the morph.

I don't believe that's true. From what I have read, it's a crap-shoot.

To answer the question, I like any spider I can afford

For me spiders are top of my must have list. I love Spiders and their combo's so for me it just depends.. I like symmetric patterns on the head and along the body. High white or low that really doesn't matter to me although I lean high white..

So yea..

Oh one thing..NO SPOTS.. if it has alien Head Spots it really has to shine else where for me to consider it a keeper.

This is my perfect keeper
