Just a spider??

[ApReptiles]

So i just got this male from a friend Who no longer wanted him. He seems really light and clean to me for an average spider, im suspecting vanilla ? Idk maybe im reaching a little bit. Let me know your opinions thanks.

Here is a pic of him next to my other spider just for Reference.

Well unless proven, it looks like you have a very nice spider in my opinion.

^Exactly what he said.
Unless you prove him out otherwise, He is a very nice, reduced pattern example.

I agree, spider.
It is a really nice one though.
Remember, beautiful adults will produce beautiful offspring.

I have one I got from Mike Wilbanks that looks better than some spider combos; similar lightness, bright yellow borders on the black, higher white than some calicos & sugars and pale yellow belly; but it is still just a spider.
The lightness of yours reminds me of mine.

Anyone else notice though that male spiders tend to retain their color better? Just a thought, but hope you can prove him out OP he really does have a nice reduced pattern.

Too bad he is a male my friend gave me to him as a female. Im gonna give him to another friend who needs a breeder male. I cant wait to see what his offspring look like.

mine is a female, currently gravid.

She doesn't have that faded brown look? Hope you show us pics of the eventually babies. Both spider girls I have have faded considerably, to that point where they are almost the same shade as a normal ball.

Looks like you got a nice spider and not the crap that most people are selling nowadays.

I have to search for the pics of her at 800grams.
I will take some new pics when I have the chance but she is in shed at the moment. She only looks the color of a normal ball when she is shedding, otherwise she has got it going on.
I bred her to a male superpastel that has nice bright yellow and minimal "dirt", even as an adult. I wanted better bees that what is normally available.

With all my balls, I sought out the best and brightest so the babies will shine bright.

Very nice, I have a buddy that lent me his spider male a couple years ago. He was really bright and look very nice but sold him before I got a chance to let him know I wanted to buy. But I did manage to get one clutch from him: and only one spider combo a spider het red
