This is awesome!!!! My spider(male) x spotnose(fire?)(female) :)

To me she doesn't really look like a spotnose either. Do you have better pictures? She looks like a big normal, pretty girl though

I have to be quick, she's kinda iffee w the snapping of the picts but I got a quick pict of her face, ima post it up so you can see her face. She is a guesser for sure. Actually I should have posted spotnose/fire??? she does have a hoof print on her head, which right now I can't get close to her because everytime I open up the tub since she in lock w the male she is puffing and hissing at me, so I don't want to disturb the lock lov'n. But she also has 3 or 4 big white dots and 3 yellow dots about the size of peas on her scales just random no real pattern. Probably like you said just a nice normal. And thank you!

So since I took a picture of the lock and posted she was a spotnose but didn't get her face in it, please tell me is she or isn't she? her i[URL="http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=39321"][/URL

Nope not a spotnose..I can tell by the way she looks and her age.. Spotnose wasn't proven until 2005 sooo.

Spotnose heads are very distinct

She doesn't look like a spotnose to me either, but what does her age matter? Just because the gene wasn't proven until 2005 doesn't mean it wasn't around before that right?

Edit: Congrats on them locking up!

I agree she's not a spotnose but that doesn't mean she couldn't have been.
I have to believe there were spotnoses around before they were proven

Sure they could have been around but that would mean that she was a WC female.

I hope I get all of my males through the breeding season,
I hate when they get eaten....j/k

Your female looks like a normal, no spot nose head pattern and I don't see fire either, just a nice large normal, good luck making some spider babies.
Have you prepared for the out come with an incubator, a place to house the hatchlings, etc...?

Yeah I posted the eating thing, I read that in an old ball python manual book. Thought I could get a rise out of some people. She is an old female 12-15 yrs old never been near a male and says supposedly females can. ok!!! I do have a hovabator, my buddy ben seigal gave it to me and my other buddy derek roddy has another much larger one the size of a small frig. that he has no use for. Plus if I am darn lucky enough i do have a pepsi machine that can easily be used as an incubator. It's all gewd. If i'm lucky enough to get that far. Last year my Megarea was in lock and never produced anything so, I have my fingers crossed.

couldn't have been? i'm confused, so what is the hoofprint on her head mean? maybe i have a dinker? oh boy maybe I just opened up a can of worms?

Normal patterns varie, its doubtful it means anything. A lot of people try to make more out of something small than it ever really is.

Also, you mean Ben Siegel* ... lol.

Good luck.
