Wow. That was an interesting read! To the OP......my very first initial thought (before reading thru 11 pages of comments) was I bet that snake has another gene at play. I am no expert, and I could be totally wrong and it could totally be a crazy normal as so many others seem to be so sure that it is. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the mother was not a normal....and perhaps some type of morph and you infact have a double gene animal (that would be kind of cool, to post an update thread saying you not only proved out your spider but that it's really a spider x _____).

Now having read thru all the comments and gotten to the last page, I see someone else agrees with that possibility with the enchi spider theory. I don't own any enchi's nor do I know much about enchi combos but the one pic she posted sure looks like the same pattern, head stamp, green eyes, etc. I don't think the color is quite right I would think the sides of the enchi spider would be more yellow/gold than white. But perhaps there is infact another gene at play.

Like Gayle said, if you are just having this snake as a pet it really doesn't matter, it is a truely amazing animal regardless--awesome pattern, great color, etc. But if you are going to breed, I sure would breed that snake and try to prove it out...maybe to a super pastel (to not miss the odds) everything will be pastel....so if you get bees, you'll know.

I think it's a pretty sweet looking snake and if I were you I'd sure dink around with it. There are many snakes that have been mistaken for morphs, just has many people have mistaken morphs for normals. So maybe the momma was a morph and you've got a really cool project to work with. Best of luck!! Update please if you breed!!
