    Re: What's your opinion? Spider Balls high or low white?

    By saying a high white spider you mean the freckles on the sides and white stomach? I guess the rule is the more white on a Spider produces better bees when crossed with a Pastel? I've crossed my Spider with a Pastel this year for the first time and thought I'd ask.

    Yep, the high white Spiders have white that goes to about the middle of their body. Maybe your thinking more of low white, where they just have some freckles up the side. I'll try to find some pictures....

    Oh and good luck with that clutch!!! It will be awesome I'm sure!!!

    Re: What's your opinion? Spider Balls high or low white?

    I like em high... I held off for two years on getting one till I found one I liked.

    High white sides, high gold color... thats my favorite in a spider.

    But again, that is just a personal preference.

    Re: What's your opinion? Spider Balls high or low white?

    Ok I found a couple.

    Here's a low white spider I found on davisconstrictors.com , I would love to have this one:


    And what I would consider a high white, although, it could have more white:

    Re: What's your opinion? Spider Balls high or low white?

    I vote high white, cuz I think it adds to the Spiders uniqueness.
    I'm not afraid of snakes, because I got Balls!

    Re: What's your opinion? Spider Balls high or low white?

    Thank you! That's an excellent example of a high white spider!!!

    I'm not sure what I would call her either, do you know if she was from a high or low white spider by chance?
