BumbleBee Wobble

My bumbleBee has slight wobble it never affected him much with the exception of feeding time but last night I notice he was having a panic attack or something he was doing the stevie wonder his head was going left to right no stop for about 15 mins after I first saw him so who knows how long it truly lasted anyways he seems perfectly fine today. should I be worried or is this just something I have to deal with do to the wobble of the spider gene? (he's my baby :tears: )

That is something that will come and go because of the spider gene.

It's what you get with a snake that carries the spider trait.

My guy does loops with his head when he's excited. I got him second hand so I don't know if he did it when he was younger, but he's about 4 years old maybe older. And getting a little fat. ;)

Thats just wat u gotta learn to deal with when u have spiders or any form of spiders i wonder if u mix enough stuff in if it will hide the wobble for example killer bees or Killer Spinner maybe those will help control the wobble idk just a thought

The only way to get rid of it is for breeders to be more responsible, and not breed snakes with inheritable disorders or deformities.

I am making a purchase on a Wobbley Spider. I heard that putting a climbing stick in its habitat could be a form of physical therepy and may decrease its wobble overtime. i am going to do an experiment and see how she does :)

Thanks for the posts guys he's doing much better today I guess I just have to get used to it. And @ pamby let me know how that experiment works out.

So spiders should no longer be bred? :O :confused:

All spiders wobble/spin to a degree in some case it is hardly noticeable in some case they are train wrecks.

It cannot be bred out.

The things is with spider wobble is that a slight wobbler can throw a train wreck and vice-versa, wobbling can also be worse with years or get better with years.

So again what are the suggestions, stop breeding spiders and label those who do irresponsible? :rolleyes:

I'm glad you asked this-I'm a fairly new snake owner and mine does the same thing. Now I know too :)
