Which morph?

If you're looking for a pet, definitely just get what you like. Don't worry about Spider wobble/neurological problems in my opinion. You can ask to hold the snake before you buy it. They'll probably be shy, so I wouldn't be concerned about that. Going to a show is one of the most exciting things ever! Get there early!

Are you going to the Orlando expo next weekend?:)

I've heard reports of some appearing fine until they're fed where the wobble is very apparent.

Any stress can bring on a wobble.

In wobble related snakes. Spiders and Champagnes are what I have. I think there are one or two more out there but don't remember for sure.

Going to the White plains expo in new york on Jan 31st

Just be sure to go with something that you really want. These snakes can live 20+ years, so you want something that you'll enjoy for a long while. I originally just wanted a normal (which I still like), or maybe a lesser and swore that I wasn't going to spend more than $75, then when I went to an expo, I saw so many really cool morphs...I still want to get a pied someday, but they are still far beyond my wallet. I almost went for a pastel butter, but then I saw a little cinnamon mojave on the other side of the breeder's display. He was $100 more than I intended to spend, but I immediately fell in love with the patterns. I still walked around for two more hours just to be sure, and just kept coming back.

I had the advantage of picking out and talking with the breeder first, and had already decided that no matter what morph I got, it would be from that person. I just browsed for hours to make absolutely sure that I didn't see something I liked better in the same price range.

I would also recommend looking at adult pictures of the morphs you like. The first time I saw a pewter hatching, I loved the sliver and white, but then I looked at an adult picture, and they fade to a much browner tone...I don't know which ones fade, but a lot of them seem to change. This way you can be sure you like the colors even as an adult snake.
