The Potential of the 'Spider' Ball Python!

The Spider ball python morph is perhaps one of the best when it comes to mixing with other ball python genes. In this video I'll show you how impressive the Spider can be!
Enjoy!

The Axanthic Spider is my favorite.

[@dvlexotics2177]

Yes that is the most impressive 2 gene combo out there. I love the spider and axanthic Genes they make so many fantastic combos.

[@Mrsdepp2008]

I have one, it’s got a bit of a wobble. I don’t plan on breeding though. I just have her to have her 🤷🏼‍♀️ she’s amazing, she’s docile, she’s beautiful ...

[@brandonm9875]

My albino spider is impressive with almost no pattern and white coming up from belly followed by an orange fade into yellow. One of my favorites.

[@dvlexotics2177]

Imagine our hobby without the spider gene no bumblebees no bees period no spinners or any other great combos our hobby wouldn't be where it is without the spider gene thank you mr. kevin mccurley for introducing this awesome beautiful gene to us.

[@petewashington1885]

Love them all great video as always . Thanks Chris

[@ravenwolf8549]

The Spider is slowly becoming one of my favorite morphs. They make some of the prettiest combos!!!

[@robertmoore1123]

I agree.

[@kyleburke79]

Honestly the bamboo is much more attractive to me then the spider without the posability of Neurological issues.

[@Ferretlass]

Great and informative video as always. The spider morph is one of my favorites and even though I'm just a keeper and not a breeder, it's important to mention that you cannot breed spider to spider as it's a lethal combination.

[@dvlexotics2177]

Good point it's also not good to breed spider to champagne woma hgw and a few other genes.

[@KMStarcraft]

Spiders are beautiful.

[@chuck1376]

Keep up the great videos! I have a banana spider ball and she's beautiful! One of my favorite combos.

[@07cryssie]

I love your channel an how you go into depth on the different mutations, it’s been super helpful so thank you! I recently came across an thread that mentioned something about a black belly gene, but I can’t find any info on that. I was hoping maybe you would do a video on that or maybe have some info? Thanks again I’ll definitely keep watching your channel!

[@ericwilson2320]

Awesome video buddy I'm setting up my patreon now working on it

[@MattHumms]

You have so many ball pythons that I want to buy one from you 🤔

[@dvlexotics2177]

I often wonder why the spider is picked on so much when in my opinion the champagne woma hgw have the wobble more often than the spider. I have been keeping and breeding the spider gene for 15+ years. I refuse to breed the champagne and woma gene I do however have a few combos with the hgw gene.

[@suzystone244]

Spider Balls are dynamic. Versatile. Beautiful. One of my toppers. Right now my Cinnabee is really getting some white walls. Yellow. Flaming. Shes🔥

[@zobi280]

I saw a Spinner Blast at Petco today. It was corkscrewing all over the cage, but I think it was due to being stressed. Very pretty, I can definitely see why people like them

[@dvlexotics2177]

It's been proven that stress and poor husbandry effect the spider wobble. Look at all these anti spider videos what's the most common thing between them? Most of them are rescues.

[@cen_tah_ree7092]

I’ve come to learn that the traders sell the bad one to the pet stores for cheap lol easy money .

[@funnygaming2672]

@@dvlexotics2177 all video I have seen bashing are ALL RESCUE they should have been euthanaze but no let bash that morphs. for some rare extreme exception even if their worse morph out there to breed ...

[@dvlexotics2177]

@@funnygaming2672 look at kevin from NERDS collection he has hundreds of adult spider and spider combos and his worst veers left no severe wobble no corkscrewing it says something right there. I've also purchased several spider babies from NERD including ones way back most likely from the original and no wobble not one mis direction nothing. Spiders have always been my best eaters and most keepers/breeders will tell you the same.

[@joet3682]

Brian barczyk called the super fire a black eyed leucistic. He produced a super Lori this year and it’s incredible. You should check it out if you haven’t seen it yet

[@darigazz666]

The one on my face is a banana spider but she also has pastel. She's absolutely gorgeous and shes a real sweetheart. No spider wobble.

[@leanneseewald196]

My daughter really likes the Bumblebee

[@JM-ot5lp]

I really like the bumblebee, would you recommend it or should I get a different gene. Kinda hesitant because of the spider wobble gene 😭

[@GameOfMorphs]

I'm not sure who to pair my Orange Dream Spider to.. either my Lesser Calico, Bamboo, or Lesser Fire Pinstripe.. all the possibility's are gorgeous!

[@michaelscaggs144]

Chris can you show us the potential of super pastel to other ball python genes thanks

[@KaijuLover85]

I have a blade spider Enchi clown and mine has no head wobble at all i was scared at first to buy her but she still is a power house and got her for a great deal! And she’s doing well no wobble at all. But i have seen some with wobble but a lot without wobble at all

[@isaacestates637]

When you go to denver repticon how do you show your snakes??? Are they still heated? How long would you display them without heat?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I actually heat them with a heat strip and thermostat.

[@MsJevious]

❤ my spider girl!!

[@jessepace231]

Can you update use on your bio active enclosure experiment?

[@jesseb4827]

Looks like a leopard, spider, clown would be the poormans batman haha

[@johnnymorgan557]

I bought a 220g female off morphmarket because... I AGREE THEY ARE THE MOST AMAZING SINGLE GENE MORPH... and wanted to add one female to my breeding program. They said she didnt have a noticeable wobble... Well she is a mess... cant even crawl just flops around. I havent been able to get her to eat anything she strikes at the mouse misses and then flips flops and coils and starts eating nothing. Any suggestions on getting her to eat?

Hey which October repticon are you going to vend? Google tells me there's 3 reptile expos in the denver area in Oct. My friend and I might come out so I can buy Lefty before antone else does!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'll be at the Denver Repticon on October 19-20, 2019. Hope to see you there!!

[@lidathorn6449]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Ok so it looks like we're definitely going but my friend wants to fly instead of drive so I'll have to pay you extra to ship her to me that Monday

[@leonova9526]

They are stunning! But I wouldnt ever buy one since they can have a head wobble.

[@jodyboatright41]

Bobby being cute again 😍

[@gavinswinford2023]

Woma’s also looks similar to spiders. I have a Orange Dream Butter Woma. He has no head wobble at all. I love all snakes no matter the reputation.

[@albertwing8820]

i have a beautiful cinnamon spider, no problems at all!!!! I'll pair up with a piebald to get hets.

[@brandonmullens7573]

Can you tell me what exact morphs I just rescued

Upload it somewhere and post a link.

[@cen_tah_ree7092]

Have u guys realized nun of kevin’s spider wobble? Well the ones he has now , selective breeding is all it is . So u can’t say spiders in general have head wobble . But the originals did . Spider makes any gene better for sure . You just got to breed and cull . Yes cull . Don’t be sad .
