    What morph is this?

    Someone local is selling a young male and he said he'll let him go for $120 if I take him this weekend.

    I don't know enough about morphs to be able to tell what this is! Not the best pic but it's all he sent me.

    Spider for sure. Possibly something additional, but if he didn't say anything else it's probably just a spider.

    Re: What morph is this?

    Is that an okay price for a snake like that? I assume it's just a 'normal' morph?

    For a young male spider I would say "eh". 75 to 80 would be more like what I would pay for it, but if it's a craigslist or other local classified type ad you'll mostly be looking at slightly inflated prices. Spider is a pretty common morph present in many collections from small time to big, except where the breeder doesn't like the spider wobble for personal or ethical reasons.

    If you're considering this guy seriously, you will need to look into the spider wobble or else you'll be in for a nasty shock.

    its a little quirk that happens with the gene most of the time, makes them look sick or loopy. Not all have it, and some will get it over time, and some are worse than others. Do your research on youtube so u know what exactly can happen with the spider gene.

    In summary it's basically a neurological tick that causes off movements, strange circling movements of the head or corkscrewing in the body, and sometimes issues in other areas. a YouTube search will go a long way here.

    It's a spider. You can find a male a fair bit cheaper and from a less pushy seller. That person should be selling cars, surprised they didn't throw a shazam or two at you too.

    Re: What morph is this?

    Oh wow. This would actually be my first BP. I was planning on going to a breeder next week, think I'll stick with that, lol.

    Is it only present in spiders? Or in other morphs, too?
