I must have a Spider that was imported from the planet Neptune or something. My male has never done any of these weird things that people keep describing. If it is said that "every Spider has this gene" then I want to know who proved this and what the name and code of the gene is.
My Spider just acts like every other ball python I have ever seen; he has his quirks like they all do. He is shy and has never struck at me, and goes off feed for a few weeks off and on like pretty-much any BP in anyone's racks anywhere in the world. I think that my heart would stop if I saw him flipping around his cage or shaking like a Parkinson's disease patient.. am I living in a bubble or something or does anyone else have a Spider that does not exhibit these syptoms?
Mine was produced by John Courtney.
On a side note: I would definately think that doms would be much less inbred than recessives. Hets are not needed; Pastels and Spiders are bred to normals of unknown lineage all of the time.. so I see little inbreeding in them at present time!
