Spinning Spider!!!

Thanks guys! Great info...coudlnt really find any other info on the "wobble". And i have a big feeling that part of the "wobble" was cause from the stress of moving her to a new home. My girlfriend had mentioned that it seemed as if she really only did the notions when we moved her to a new surface or location. So very likely stress endued. As far as breeding...yeah im guna wait around a year from now...just pump her up with mice/rats and hopefully in a year it will be Bumble Bee making time.

Some Spiders that don't show it at all will sometimes show it when they are stressed.

This gene can be spread to the offspring, and even normal Ball pythons can get this if one of the parents are a Spider and does happen to carry the corkscrew & wobble in their genes. So, if you bred a Spider to any other morph, the other morph in the offspring could even get it because it has the Spider's genes, if that makes sense. Even if the parent doesn't show the corkscrew or wobble, it could still have it in its genes and pass it on to any of the offspring.

Actually Tiffany, the few normals that I have heard of that display this behavior did NOT have a spider parent. As far as I am aware of, the normals in a spider clutch rarely display a spin/wobble behavior.
