    Should I or Shouldn't I breed (Spider Wobble Questions)

    Edit: (I know I posted two threads, it was an accident due to my net screwing up, sorry guys.)

    Alright. I don't know much about the spider wobble, but my female spider has it pretty bad. I wanted to know, if it's ok to breed her, or if I shouldn't, maybe try to get a spider that doesn't have it? These are all things I need to know and think about before I do something that could possibly ruin my business some day. I know she can pass it on to her babies, so I was hoping the community can lend me a helping hand by giving me suggestions and more input about the spider wobble.

    All spiders have the wobble. Only difference is the severity of it. Its Random. Spiders with little wobble can produce babies with severe wobble and vice versa.

    As stated, there isn't a direct correlation between how expressive the wobble is in the parents to the babies. If the snake eats fine, poops fine, grows to breeding size fine, and then takes and lays eggs, it's fine.

    Thank you so much for that link, I've learned more about the wobble in 5 minutes, then any other site. And I've also learned about some of the other genetic flaws of breeding, again thank you so much for posting that for me
