We bought this Bp from a local seller and we asked if she had spider gene and he replied no. This is our first Bp and trusting what he said, we purchased her. She has no issues is shedding, eating, and growing perfectly. We wanted to breed in a few years but don’t want to it she has the spider gene. We has ordered a shed test but would like to know what you think?
Thanks!
No, looks like a lemon blast (pastel pinstripe).
Due to how common/low value both of those morphs are and the current oversaturation of the market, this snake is not a good candidate for breeding and will make a great pet
Agreeing with everything said.
Also going to add, if breeding is something you’re already looking to do in the future you need to do a ton of research. You should already be looking at common genes like this and knowing what they look like. Know that there are other genes that can still cause wobble, not just spider. Other genes can cause bug eyes or kinks.
There’s definitely a lot more to consider than just a male and female snake.
Ok. Thank you for this input. It’s just an idea, but we will take all advice. I have a OD pied we were thinking about pairing with but. Thanks again.
Correct. Thank you for your input. I’ve been doing research and will for the next few years. And I’m sure she doesn’t have champagne or woma gene. I haven’t looked into the other deformities to educate myself on yet. We will be doing lots more research this is just one of my first questions into the idea of it. Thank you
Wonderful.
The seller mentioned she was spotnose, pinstripe, enchi, het clown. But had questions about the spider. I thought he may had not wanted to mention but he did inform us of what morph she was.
There are genetic tests available for people planning to have children. That way you will know if there’s a particular gene or trait you could be passing down like sickle cell or cystic fibrosis. So that sort of research is available. 
It would be nice if most people considered it. Imo
In the case of ball pythons, they are MASSIVELY overbred. Not doing the research ahead of time means you can’t accurately ID offspring or can cause confusion with things like recessive gene inheritance. This happens very often and reflects poorly on the seller.
I have seen far too many people purchasing possible hets thinking that 50% or 66% means they do have the gene and buying another het means offspring will be 100%. It does not work that way.
Producing extremely common morph combos can lead to the animals being sold cheap and some buyers do feed BPs to other snakes.
You cannot have a conversation with a BP to judge things like you can with people. These are animals we choose to care for. Breeding is always a risk and you need to be knowledgeable to minimize injury or death risks. Eggbinding and hemipene prolapse can be deadly. I’ve had a reactive female coil the male I introduced. I intervened before she could do much damage thankfully. Breeders have had babies cannibalize each other in transit. It’s rare, but can happen. Babies with kinks or hard belly may need to be put down. Some struggle to get started on food.
It sounds like it’s easy to just put two snakes together and eggs happen. But wouldn’t you rather be a knowledgeable or ethical breeder? It sounds like you do because you’re asking if a pinstripe is a wobbly gene. (It’s not)
Also, was there a reason you didn’t believe him? Remember, someone could be asking you that same question in the future.
Edit: reading what the breeder ID’d her as above. This is also a very likely combo knowing what genes are potentially involved. Pastel pin is the most likely guess without knowing what the pairing or breeder ID is. The nuances from each potential gene interaction are more obvious knowing what we could be seeing. I would side with the breeder and if you are still skeptical, genetic testing is available for those 4 genes.
Thank you for the education. This is my research.
