Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

"Golden" Spiders?
Can someone tell me if there is such a thing? A friend of mine sent me an ad saying that this "isn't an ordinary Spider", but the pic had been messed with so I doubt the ad was valid. However since I'm constantly catching up on new BP morphs is there a line of Spider called a Golden Spider?
Thanks in Advance- Deb

Hmm, very interesting. I've never heard of it; I would imagine RDR, NERD, or VPI would be the ones to come out with a new morph, and I can't find a "golden spider" on any of their sites, but I suppose it is possible...
I'm interested to see if anybody else has a take on this.

Maybe...
The term "Golden Spider" could have been used to describe the appearance of the Spider?
The same as "High White" or "Low White" is used.
Maybe they were just saying that the "High Gold Spider" does not look like your average Spider?
Can you post the pic in this thread?
Have a member that can check out the photo and see how altered it is take a look at it,(I think Alicia / MooingTricycle is able to do it?)
I sometimes "mess with" my photos to get the picture to represent the actual appearance, and true colors of the animal.
If I am selling / trading the animal, I also send untouched photo's as well.
Then again, maybe they are intentionally misrepresenting their animal?

Spiders vary quite a bit from animal to animal... you have your super reduced, not so reduced, high white, low white, Ones with almost a solid yellow side instead of white... Some dark, and some high gold like what the person selling the animal might be referring to.
IMO though...Any alteration to a picture's color... even to try to represent the animal better with honest intentions is still misrepresentation of that animal in my opinion. I just can't when someone posts an ad up and the snake has been photoshopped to death and looks like a plastic toy... I saw a thread once where a group of people all photoshopped an animal to the best of their ability to try to bring out the animals "truest" colors and by the end you would have thought it was 9 differen't animals had you not known they were shopped. LOL
If you feel you need to alter the color go outside in the sunlight, seek some better lighting or just straight up get a new camera that takes better pics LOL...

That ad is fine. It's one thing to describe your animal's colour & another to tout it as a separate line/morph. The original ad was off-Fauna & referred to a GOLDEN Spider as in morph/line. Since no one has hard of any new line of Spider, it's a good thing my friend avoided purchasing there.
