Re: spider wobble?!
A Spider wobble can be anywhere from a slight shake to the head to severe cork screwing and/or flipping. As far as I know it does not effect their quality of life and is completely normal when it comes to Spiders.

Re: spider wobble?!
Quick question...is the Spider in the video pretty standard for a wobbly Spider, or is she a mild case? I'm trying to decide on the next morph to purchase and I love the look of the Spiders...just wanna gauge how bad their wobbles can be.

That's a little more extreme. They do get worse but that's about as bad as I as a breeder would ever even consider selling and even then I'd want to make sure the buyer is well aware.

Re: spider wobble?!
I think its a harsh case of it... that was just an example of what the wobble was but usually they will have a slight tilt of the head and will on occasional spin there heads around. Nothing to worry about they have normal lives and the same instinct patterns as any other bp, i encourage you to get one especially if your new to bp, they are a cheap but nice looking morph... other cheap ones i recommend are Albinos, Mojaves, bumble bees, pastels,
they are all under 500$ and the pastel are any where from 75-200 .
Hoped i helped =)

I recently got a Mojave, which has been my favourite morph since before the Super was born. He's like...the snake of my dreams. I'm hoping that in April I can go to the Reptile Expo in Chicago, I think it's on the 10th and 11th...and hopefully there I'll locate a nice Spider or another Mojave. If I can find a Bumble Bee in my price range I'll consider myself the luckiest fellow alive, heh! I've seen a few BPs online that I rather fancy but with the Spider wobble I'd want to see the animal first in person before purchasing. That was one of the reasons I drove halfway across the state for my Mojave male...I wanted the breeder to put him into my hands instead of a box.
That said if I felt sure the breeder was being up-front about both the pros and cons of an individual snake I'd be comfortable buying off the internet.
LOL, I ramble, sorry.
