Spider wobble in full effect

Inbreeding had nothing to do with the wobble. It is a Dom animal, no inbreeding was needed, there is no super, so while some Spider x Spider breedings might have been done, I doubt that many were done, and I am possitive it had nothing to do with the wobble. Does the original spider wobble? If so, and I am sure it does, inbreeding could have made it a bit worse, but would not have caused it. Again, I personally do not think inbreeding had anything to do with the wobble, or making it worse.

yea my 09 female has not the slightest bit of a wobble-not even when feeding shes completely clear of wobbles. cant wait to see how her offspring come out this summer if all falls through!

So i'm guessing the wobble was passed down from one of the first spider morphs? personally i wouldnt continue breeding a morph line with something like that. I love the look of spiders don't get me wrong, it's just sad in my opinion to watch that and so i wouldnt want to intentionally produce more snakes with the wobble. Some scientists should do some studies on what it is and why it gets triggered more during feeding time.

Wow, that looks crazy! My girl has a little bit of a feeding thing too though

YouTube - Ivy striking and showing some wobble

Brittany, yours does about the same thing mine do. A little head bob.

Yes, Kevin has stated that the original spider (there was only one spider imported) also wobbles. He has also stated that all spiders wobble. I agree with you that it has nothing to do with inbreeding - spiders are one of the most OUT bred morphs.

How do you assist him?

if it was a slight wobble in which it had no ill effects on the animal, I can almost understand that, but any animal IMO who cannot eat on its own because its so handicapped from the wobble should not be bred, and perhaps should have been culled. As much as it is a pretty morph I highly believe in breeding animals who are healthy and strong, which a bad wobble doesnt show.

It's not just you. I would not say I will "never" have one but when I see stuff like that it seems pretty clear to me that something neurological is JUST NOT RIGHT!!! It's spooky

Wow thats the first time i have actually seen the wobble as i dont own any spiders. Its more dramatic then i thought.

Lovely spider though , lots of white just how i like them
