    Are ALL Spider morphs carry those goofy genetic traits?
    Back again with another question. "I LOVE this site."

    My Spider boy does have slight issues. Head pointed upward at times, balled up with head inverted, then normally does his roaming around and sleeping on top of his hide. I have heard of worse things reported.
    Do ALL Spider Morphs carry this goofy trait? Regardless, I will NOT BREED HIM. Period. He will always be my baby boy, for educational purposes.

    Thanks,
    Suz

    Anything containing the spider gene will display spider traits....other genes will not overpower it.

    I believe so. My boyfriends bumblebee (pastel spider) does a lot of those motions

    Exactly.

    And as long as the "wobble" isn't terrible, there's no reason why you couldn't breed him.

    There's no getting away from it.. The severity is random in offspring isn't it?

    Yep yep :gj:!

    My spider, killerbee, and stinger all have a wobble and act dinky :P. i have only seen a few spiders who don't display MUCH of a wobble, but that doesn't mean they will produce wobble-less spiders :gj:

    Yep, my Bumblebee stargazes a bit, and wobbles when going in for the kill. It really doesnt bother you after a while, it's just what they do.

    I was told by 2 breeders at a reptile show that a way to help reduce the wobble is to incubate your spider gene eggs a couple degrees below normal. Anyone else heard/done this? Any truth to it?

    Well my brother has a Spider but he really doesn't have much head wobble. I know some have it really bad and others not as bad.
