    Banana spider morphs vs Banana woma morphs?

    I'm considering removing spidercomboss off my wish list, due to their issues, but do woma really look as good in combos(I know, I know, I'm not suppose to care about that when making a ethical judgement)?

    Other than a few pics of banan womas babies I really haven't been able to compare to banana spiders. What do you guys think? Do they look similar/just as "good"? Woma vs spiders combos in general, what do you think?

    Womas wobble too, so if that's the issue you have with spider, woma isn't a great substitute.

    Womas are different yes, but they are very much the same, including the wobble. My fire woma has a worse wobble then my spider morphs do. So if your plan is to stay away from the wobble prone spiders, womas are not in your best interest either.

    Spiders, in my opinion, are better then womas. Spiders bring white sides and spiders are awesome and I personally find people will buy a spider before the buy a woma. Most morphs you can tell them apart, but sometimes it is harder then some.

    I've heard more people say that Spiders have issues. I have 5 spiders in my regular collection and a handful of babies. I find spiders to be the most endearing ball pythons there are. The wobble makes them cute in a unique way. My favorite snakes are Pastel Spiders (bees). The worst issue I have found with spiders is the need to monitor live feedings very closely. Sometimes the bite is not as accurate as one would hope.

    For me, that is a small price to pay for the great benefits of a derpy snake, who are as entertaining as they are beautiful.

    I had no idea woma wobbles as well. That was the exact reason I decided spiders were a bad choice after all, even though having a banana spider fire would be amazing. When I've seen spiders eat there's something inside of me that hurts.

    My daughter has an albino spider female. The only thing it does that is wobble related is she has poor aim when feeding. No head shake at all. My daughter loves her and the snake loves being handled.

    Enchi might be a better substitute
