    I recently picked up a Spider at the last reptile show. Now I already knew about the wobble they have. But I've never actually seen it in person.. Can someone gimme some pointers on what to look for? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/18/3usuja5u.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/18/e3ege7e7.jpg

    Gorgeous... if it's a slight wobble.. it'll look just like that... a wobbling of the head. If its an extreme wobble... you'll know it!

    My adult Spider doesnt have any wobble to her. She is now 1400 grams and hasnt since birth. Now I had a Bee that wobbled really bad. He would shake and flip....it was weird.

    Mine's barely noticeable. As long as he can eat he'll be fine

    I have a spider with no sign of a wobble and a little bee who is either very quirky or may have a wobble (haven't had him long enough or fed him yet to check) When I brought him home he was lying with his head upside down, I have to give him a slight prod to make sure he was alive! He also periscopes to the top of his tub and then lets his head flop upside down when he reaches the top. Not sure if I am seeing a wobble or weird behaviour!

    Good thing the little guy is so cute ;)

    So yeah, looks like if you notice any of the things I mentioned in my last post about my Bee your spider may have the wobble :) As long as feeding well, it's nothing to worry about :)
