Gary, just so you know - spiders, being a dominant morph - are one of THE most outbred mutations, with very little inbreeding occurring.

If inbreeding were the "culprit" then you'd see far more problems with the recessive genes, that are inbred (at least with a new mutation - to prove it dominant, co-dominant or recessive).

But the same goes with a spider that has the wobbles his offspring could have no signs at all. So whats the problem?

I don't see a problem. Thats the great thing if you don't like that spider wobble buy a pinstripe or a Mojave. But if your willing to enjoy these animals for their differences and want a spider there are breeders ready to put on in your hand.

exactly my point!

Yep,if you don't want wobble buy something else.

okay.. last week I received my spider male. He does have a slight wobble. And when I flipped him onto his back, he righted himself immediately so he is not an extreme wobbler. Either way, wobble or not, I got a spider because I enjoy the look and the morphs they produce. I think, after reading different things on the wobble issue, that its similar to a nervious tick in humans.. just something that they have.

The wobble is what makes the spider a spider. They are my favorite morph and I wouldnt want them any other way. Except for some extremely rare unfortunate cases. But if you dont like the wobble as said before shop else where:gj:

I would be ticked if I purchased a spider that has a wobble.

your best bet then is to buy a pinstripe.
