at the very least the snake moves very jerky and it typically gets worse when its stressed or excited either from feeding or handling

Re: Spider wobble
Thankyou to everyone for the replies and info, I really hope I can get her eating so I can stop worring about her spinning and such making her crazy. I just dont really know how long a baby her size can go without eating before I should worry,but I'll try not to get too worked up so soon about it.

Says who? I would love to see the info you found during those research.
Again based on what study? :confused:
I never said it was solid info
and I am very much aware there is no super form
It's simply a theory I have come up with. The whole point behind a THEORY is there are no hard facts. which is why I need to prove it out one way or the other. The wobble is genetic though. if mom and dad have it bad. babies have it worse.

Re: Spider wobble
I am not sure about the genetics about it, but I know that my spider has had no issues as of yet with a wobble... I think i see a tilt in her, but that is about it...She has since eaten twice for me and has had no issues in that department and she is only about six weeks old.

No, this has not fleshed out as true. Mild wobblers can and do throw train-wrecks and train-wrecks have thrown mild wobblers.

I always thought the head wobble was fromt he super spider.
If you knew there was no super spider, than the comment above makes zero sense.

Re: Spider wobble
My spider showed no sign of wobble at all for the first 8 months or so then started wobbling a little.Then is started wobbling more. Now, a couple of years later it often spends a great deal of time with it's head upside down.

I seem to recall someone talking about a Superspider like a week ago. Doh it looked just like a normal spider only diffrence was that it produced all spiders.

Yikes -- that's scary O.o Especially since the males of this morph are known for breeding so young ... If someone was hoping to "breed out" the wobble trait, knowing that it can manifest so late in life would make it mighty difficult.
Of course, from all that's been said it sounds like "breeding it out" may not be possible ...
I took my female spider to an educational demo this past week -- two of them -- and she did fine. I was sort of wondering if she might start to wobble, being in a somewhat stressful environment, but nope -- no wobble, no loops, nothin' funky. Fingers crossed that she stays that way ... And that she passes that steadiness on to her offspring!

Re: Spider wobble
I'm hoping theres a chance they can grow out of it, even a little,with my little girl doing all this looping and and tilting and twisting andwhatnot I'm wondering can it get any worse since shes so young from the start of it:(
