odd spider

[SquamishSerpents]

Not sure what's going on here, I haven't read the whole thread. But this is my snake, and he is an enchi, no spider.

Oh, I'm sorry about that! I know it's not an Enchi Spider; I just pulled some photos from Google to demonstrate that some Enchi's can have the sort of Spider look to them, pattern-wise. I see a bit of "webbing" on the snakes I posted, including yours. I hope you don't mind that I used it, if so I can PM a mod and get it taken down!

Can we see pics of the sire and dam, please?

Nope. OP has never seen the dam, but it was apparently a weird looking Normal.

Questions

1. How does a normal get spider traits unless that normal carry's the spider gene?
2. Ever seen a normal with a mustache, I haven't?

It's a confused little snakie

1. Easy. Traits can be passed on regardless of weather the actual gene was passed on. I have a normal female who passes a little spot to some of her offspring. If you breed 2 crazy busy pattern Normals together, you're not going to get a super reduced, banded Normal. All snakes inherit traits from their parents.

2. No, but I have seen Enchi's with it, which is why I'm suggesting that!

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.

No no, my theory is NOT that the snake in question is an Enchi Spider, but simply an Enchi INSTEAD of a Spider. The OP stated the Dam was a reduced looking Normal (remember, OP has never seen this snake), so my theory is that it is a POSSIBILITY that the Dam was an Enchi and not a Normal.

The fact that you are seeing a similar pattern, head stamp, and green eyes tells me that I'm not crazy. The color isn't quite right to be an Enchi Spider, you're correct on that, but Enchi is what I was instantly reminded of with regards to the side pattern shown in the original photos. But like I said, just lately my Enchi (who I feel is an ugly Enchi) has just started to color up and get his golds/yellows.
