Spider-Ivory

Has anyone hit on spider ivories or really I am wonbdering if you can ever tell you have an ivory spider so I should ask if you have hatched any that you felt may be a spider ivory. I have spider yellow belly x yellow belly going now and was thinking that there is a good chance that if I do get an ivory spider it may just look like an ivory. I would hope maybe at least some of the spider head pattern will show up. I know that they first pastel ivories had to be bred to be 100% sure they were pastels. any thoughts or done it???

To my knowledge this designer morph hasn`t been produced, or if it has the owner certainly isn`t publicizing it. I was thinking that could be a real cool pairing... envisioning an ivory with a lavender/grey spider pattern overlay. The downside is that any pattern/pigmentation that it may have as a hatchling will probably fade as it ages as is the case with ivories and pastel ivories. It would be really nice if it could maintain its juvenile appearance.
Good luck with this one. Mark Petros

I agree totally on this one Mark. I think if you can tell an Ivory Spider as a baby that after it ages it will be hard to see it. The Ivory is a very weird white snake that doesn't breed out in the same predictable manner as the other leucistics do so actually anything like Evan's cross is worth trying I think. Keep us posted Evan , good luck with that one!
