BumbleBee Wobble

[TheBeastMaster86]

My bumbleBee has slight wobble it never affected him much with the exception of feeding time but last night I notice he was having a panic attack or something he was doing the stevie wonder his head was going left to right no stop for about 15 mins after I first saw him so who knows how long it truly lasted anyways he seems perfectly fine today. should I be worried or is this just something I have to deal with do to the wobble of the spider gene? (he's my baby )

That is something that will come and go because of the spider gene.

It's what you get with a snake that carries the spider trait.

My guy does loops with his head when he's excited. I got him second hand so I don't know if he did it when he was younger, but he's about 4 years old maybe older. And getting a little fat.

Thats just wat u gotta learn to deal with when u have spiders or any form of spiders i wonder if u mix enough stuff in if it will hide the wobble for example killer bees or Killer Spinner maybe those will help control the wobble idk just a thought

The only way to get rid of it is for breeders to be more responsible, and not breed snakes with inheritable disorders or deformities.

I am making a purchase on a Wobbley Spider. I heard that putting a climbing stick in its habitat could be a form of physical therepy and may decrease its wobble overtime. i am going to do an experiment and see how she does

Thanks for the posts guys he's doing much better today I guess I just have to get used to it. And @ pamby let me know how that experiment works out.

So spiders should no longer be bred?

All spiders wobble/spin to a degree in some case it is hardly noticeable in some case they are train wrecks.

It cannot be bred out.

The things is with spider wobble is that a slight wobbler can throw a train wreck and vice-versa, wobbling can also be worse with years or get better with years.

So again what are the suggestions, stop breeding spiders and label those who do irresponsible?

I'm glad you asked this-I'm a fairly new snake owner and mine does the same thing. Now I know too
