 Genetic
Morph: Albino Spider, ( Albino
X Spider )
Status: Proven Co-Dominant
X Simple Recessive
When: 2003
By Whom: NERD
This
variation of the Spider ball also marks
the second combination of co-dominant &
simple recessive mutations produced in captivity
(Pastel Ghost being the first). A lovely
mix of High-Contrast Albino & Spider
genes, it took us three tries before hitting
the odds on both mutations. On March 1,
2003 the effort paid off with 1.1 Albino
Spiders. The female exhibits "classic"
Spider pattern on a yellow-orange background,
while the male has a crisp, reduced white
pattern and blazing saffron background coloration.
Both snakes continue to develop white lateral
markings characteristic of the Spider with
each shed, and the thought of eventually
seeing adult-sized Albino Spiders keeps
us in daily suspense. Yet another color
on the Spider ball palette, these albinos
reiterate the versatility and combination
value of the Spider with regards to other
ball python mutations.
