    I highly recommend housing them all separately. You had mentioned keeping the females together in the video.
    I did but that won't be for long n_n
    right now they seem to be doing just fine though
    I'd even go so far as to say that they're like best friends XD
    they follow each other around and curl up in their hides together

    thats a no no. I wont lecture you on it but i would get them seperated asap.
    Your spider is very good looking. I like gold along the back and low whites. Their wobble can develope anytime so picking one without a wobble as a baby doesnt really matter. I would focus on their pattern/ colors more when picking them.

    Snake cuddling = fighting for dominance or the best location in the tank.

    I would certainly include your Spider in future breeding plans. He's a hot one.

    And, yes, please seperate those BPs. Bad things can happen...really bad things.

    I think you've got a great looking spider

    There are several factors to look at when looking for what YOU find best looking for a spider. Coloration, dorsal pattern, head pattern, and the amount of white creeping up the sides from the belly.

    Spiders are brown no matter what. Sometimes they can be suuuper dark, and sometimes they're so light, they're almost golden! I love golden spiders ! The darker spiders are freakn sweet too! I haven't noticed a trend of what people prefer. Few people really speak of the coloration.

    I like spiders with a single dorsal stripe from neck to tail, with those thin lines evenly spread out! Sometimes spiders have 2 stripes going down their back with the lines on their sides. Those are cool too. Super reduces spiders will have very few lines going down their sides. Most people prefer little to zero dots on the spider because spiders are reduced, and reduced means little to zero dots . I personally see the single stripe with even amount of side stripes is what the spider is all about!

    The head pattern can also vary on a spider but typically they have a V shape. I've seen skulls, butterflies, and other cool shapes . Sometimes they even have a fancy curled mustache which is always cute LOL!

    Finally, the amount of white sides can either creep up really high or hardly any at all. I used to love low whites, but now I prefer a medium one. The high whites certainly look unique and I wouldn't mind going for that! I like unique looking morphs . From what I've read in threads regarding spiders, a lot of people prefer high white.

    I think he is a very nice looking spider.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    This is my girl, I normally dont like darker snakes but I love how it contrasts with the high white. Personally, I prefer my spiders without any spots and high white so Im happy with my girl.

    Spider's are one of the many morphs where quality is hard to label. Some people like what some would call low quality. It's not like Pastel's where a good example would be one that retains it's brightness as it ages. I have 2 very different looking Spiders I can see why some would choose one over the other.
