    Question about my spider python

    I bought a spider ball python today. On most pictures on the internet, it looks like most spiders don't have circles in their markings, the one I bought has them. Does that mean it is a different morph? It does have the head bob, which I know is common in spiders. Do any other morphs have that? I can put up a picture if it would be easier. Thanks so much for any input.

    Some spiders do have the little circles you're talking about. Others don't.
    Pictures would help you 100% if you want us to tell you if you do have a spider or not

    Re: Question about my spider python

    Yup, some spiders have them and some don't, it just depends on the individual. You could say that the ones with the little circles are more of a busy pattern, where the ones without are more reduced, but it's all a matter of taste. Pictures would be nice!

    As far as the wobble, as far as I know it's only snakes with the spider gene that have it (so spiders, and any spider combo will have a wobble).

    I'm a little confused about one thing with the labeling of the morphs. By "spider combo" having the head bob, does that include bumblebees (and others that don't have "spider" in the name) or just ones like a Pastel Spider? Thanks so much for such a quick response!

    A bumblebee is a pastel spider, the only difference is common name vs listing the morph. ANY combination that has spider in it has a chance of wobbling.

    Yes, those spots are normal.

    Usually the higher quality the spider, the less spots in most cases. Woma's can have some wobble as well. It doesn't seem as prelevent as with Spiders though.
