    Lucky you! i went today in hoped of getting an older pastel female., but they had nothing but males, and most of the females were like3 month old.
    I left with nothing T_T I plan to go back in August though.
    Then I'm tiny like a door mouse
    Short like a bungalow house
    Minute like a pixie
    You can barely even see me

    Lol they had nothing but male because half the ppl whole showed up a 930 where female hunting! I wasnt gonna take my time until I found this out so it was a race against all the other guys to get a female. There was alot of choices but I ended up walking with a Mojave and spider het ghost. I was pretty excited about the m an raced the 400 miles back to AZ!

    She has a future date with that awesome Calico you produced! The Spider morph was my first ball python addiction.

When Spiders became affordable... I started hearing about the wobble and saw that infamous youtube video of that Spinner, and decided that I wouldn't work with the morph (kinking caramels too).

    Well it's funny how things can change in a heartbeat. That change started when I bought that Calico from you. Caliders are wicked! I love unusual and irregular patterned morphs. The Calico color affects the brown part of the alien patterns on bps, which is why it works so well with spiders, as that pattern is spread throughout the body (with very little black). I imagine it will also work very well with Pinstripes and Genetic Stripes (which I also looked for at the Pomona show, but didn't find). Well Spinners are mega-reduced in patterning, and I imagine a Calico Spinner will be an awesome animal.

    After reading recent threads here about the Spider morph, I decided that its flaws were something I could live with. Fortunately I have not witnessed any wobbles or corkscrews after the stress of handling at the show, travelling for 2 hours in my car, and observations as she explored her tub. We'll see how she handles feeding in a few days.

    Congrats! I was also hesitant to get a spider combo before for the same reason but the beauty of the spider gene can't be ignored. They are just an awesome morph!

    Calico spinner? That's gonna be amazing for sure. Goodluck w/ the future pairing. Spinner is one of my fave combos. Gotta have one soon
