    I think you missed a few genes.

    That is stunning to look at. Congrats!

    I think this marks the end of a meaningful ball python market.. lol.

    Big congrats, I bet there were some long odds in the production of that guy!

    Not to be a downer, the snake is awesome, but how can you be sure of the spider gene. I don't see it.

    mabey it acts like it's been huffing glue; i think that would be a dead giveaway that there is some spider in there . that is one nice looking snake either way.

    Spider and pinstripe combos create a new sort of pattern. It looks more like a pinstripe pattern than spider...but it's definitely a unique combo. That has the look of a "Spinner" for sure.

    Re: Super Pastel Calico Lesser Spider Pinstripe

    The Calico is much easier to spot after it's shed out a couple times. I've hit a good number of Calico combos and once you see what it does whenever you throw it into some animals, you can tell as it ages because the white comes in so much more. I went through and compared it to a Super Pastel Lesser Spider Pin and my Pastel Lesser Spider Pin and I'm 99.9% sure it has Calico in it from those two comparisons.

    The Spider gene shows itself in the pattern, like a Queenspin, it dashed the pattern up a bit, the Super Pastel and Calico seemed to change the pattern up a bit making it a little more busy, but for the most part, it's got the basic "spinner" look to it. Here is a photo of a Kingspin and Dad (Pastel/Lesser/Spider/Pin).



    Thanks for the comments everyone!
