I'm looking at my Spider Highways I produced in 2025.
I was hoping my Dark One would hold its color (on left)...but no such luck...fading out rapidly...still a little bit darker than the one on the right.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Spider gene whiting out the coloration.
On a regular Highway morph there is the blushing up the sides, but the snake retains more of a yellow color...(adult shown below)
Maybe if I mix Pastel in to created Bumblebee Highways that will bring back some yellow?
I just looked up some photos of Bumblebee Highways online but they were only hatchlings and still looked like they were going to 'white-out' as adults.
Hmmmm...I may try adding in Mojave in with Spider to see if that will add more definition to the Highway.
As for anyone new who may be reading this: As I said in my original thread (Snakes and Stones): I do not recommend anyone start breeding Spider ball pythons. I've been selectively breeding my Spider Line to reduce wobble for 25+ years, and with all the various morphs available now: I can tell you it is totally not worth the trouble for someone just beginning.
