    I know lol. Its all the breeder has on his phone though, he's currently at work, we've just been texting back and forth. He said he could send more when he got home. He did say she has a pretty reduced pattern, in general he's been pretty nice. He even offered to sex Crawly for me if I bring him along and teach me to pop. lol

    Well, she's semi-reduced.

    A true reduced spider won't have any of those little black dots on the sides of the spider lines.

    The spider is going to be the easy part. The desert is going to be a lot harder and way more expensive. The good thing is, if you buy a desert male and spend the 2K or so, you'll be able to breed that male to several females and make some very pretty, as well as pretty valuable, babies.

    I went and took a look at her, I was just super excited that a spider was around in my price range. The breeder was extremely nice and very helpful. He spent time showing me a number of his snakes, including both parents, a cinny male he has for sale, a pied female, a bumble bee, and even a clutch of eggs set to hatch in the next couple days. I fell in love with her. I think she is absolutely beautiful... I am not sure what you guys will think or if she's a really good spider, but I think she's stunning.

    That's what matters, that YOU like her. Congrats.

    So long as she isn't a complete dud and I totally got had! lol. I am still new to morphs, so I took this guy at his word for most of it. She isn't quite as yellow as the pictures make her out to be, I think that might be more the flash. I think she's pretty though. Is she a good spider?

    I picked up a male spider for $125 in August. Thats him in my avatar. Its up to you but I like spiders that have whiter sides than the one you are looking at. Besides that she looks fine to me

    Maybe I cling to the weirdest of things... but she has this "splat" mark on her back. That black web looking design that has five points. I really like it lol.

    You looked at her and like her, she is eating well and is already on rats, which is good.

    With the quality of the animal and a fair price I'd say it looks like great deal.

    Yep. Eating rat pups and pooping. The breeder said he holds back on all his snakes till that have eaten consistently and are passing waste. She doesn't wobble at all, which I heard was an issue with spiders. The breeder actually said he's never had a spider that wobbled. She was alert, no sign of any labored breathing, has already shed. Overall health wise I think she looks really good. He did say too if I was interested in the cinny he'd take 125 for him. Which was pretty tempting! BUT I held off. No reason to have an adult breeder male if I have no females of age lol.
