    There is also so many variations with spiders. You have to find one that you like.

    Do you like high whites or low whites?
    Darker color or lighter color?
    Thick pattern or reduced pattern?
    Dots or no dots?
    Alot of "O"s? some "O"s? No "O"s at all??

    Dont just go off and buy the first spider you see. :gj:

    To me, any BP (including a Spider) morph is beautiful to me, so if the Spider is dark or light, reduced or thick patterned, has dots or not, lots of "O"s or not, it doesn't matter to me. People may say they have ugly BPs (normally people with the really normal normals) but I think their BPs are beautiful. When I'm at the expo, and I see a Spider that gets my interest, I would get it even if it did have a wobble (though, not really looking for one with a wobble but I don't think anyone would get one with a wobble so it would be nice to get one with a wobble to give it a good home). :]

    To my understanding ALL spiders wobble, just to different degrees. Like someone else said before in this thread, If you are not ready to deal with wobbles, dont get a spider.

    I'd say spider, I think they have more wow factor to me. I got my girl for $235 shipped. As for avoiding wobbles as much as possible, ask the breeder if the parents, siblings and the animal has it (of course finding a trustworther seller is key).

    I tend to agree, my girl passes the nose touch test and the righting itself test but at night when she crawls around her tank (with her head up, hunting) she has a slight bob up and down making her movements not nearly as smooth as my other snakes.

    Just keep looking until you see an animal that you like, whichever morph. Trust me you'll find it, I often find too many!

    What concerns you so much about the wobble/spin ?? It's really not that big of a deal.. The wobble or spin really isnt like a disability or anything.

    The key is to keep looking. When you find the right one, you'll know it beyond a shadow of a doubt. You may go to your show and not find one that tickles your fancy they way you imagined. If it doesn't, don't settle. Believe me when i tell you if you just buy one to buy one, when the right one does come along, you'll be kicking yourself forever for not waiting. ;)

    I would recommend going to the website of your upcoming Expo, find out which vendors are going to be there. Visit there websites and see what they have and you can also contact them and find out if they have anything not listed on their website. If they have one you want, I'm sure they will bring it to the show for you...
