    No problems man, I just don't like it when people gang up on a guy and beat him up for doing what is in most cases the right thing.

    I understand, and in some cases it is and some it's not.

    Re: baby spider ball keeps shaking its head this normall?
    Midsouth. It wasnt me that made it sound like anything else except what i said from the start. It was everyone else jumpin me about it making it seem i put down wobblers. I said from the beginning i would only put enm down if it was severe enough to where the animal would not survive it. I know this thread got crazy but i had to respond to 5 people at a time. I am a very ethical person when it comes to animals. I love my reptiles. It kills me when i have to dispatch an animal but sometimes its necessary. In college i did some field work working with bioligists in the mid west studying cwd ( chronic waste disease) in deer. It is a a horrible disease that effects the animals neurologically. We dispatched over 60 animals in the wild because it was the only thing to do. It was horrible but had to be done. Sometimes it just has to be done.

    Spider is a dominant gene ...

    Have seen issues with possible homozygous spiders (not the same thing as a "super") but no one has proven it, and all spiders look the same.

    IMO as far as my research has shown ALL spiders and spiders morphs "wobble". It can not be outbred. I have never had a problem. And I think its interesting to watch. To me I chose to believe it is not a defect but personality and character that only spiders share. They are unique to me.

    how much?
    Also I do believe there are some with no wobbles because I have observed observed and observed my male spider het ghost and he never shows any simptoms

    I don't see how it's not possible, unless some how scale patterns are related to brain health; but this is just guessing...based on colors on every other animal in the world lol.

    Re: baby spider ball keeps shaking its head this normall?
    I have learned from some semi extensive research that ALL spiders wobble its a matter of how noticable it is. Someone not knowing what to look for and having a spider or spider morph may think it does not have the wobble because it is such a subtle wobble. Also some spiders hatched appear to have no wobble yet develop it later in life and vice versa. Some spiders have it from birth and sometimes it decreases with age and some have it, it goes away and then comes back. I have also learned that the wobble can not be bred out. I guess it depends on how you've researched and what you have come to believe. Here's a link that I feel is the "majority vote" answer to the spider wobble theory.
