    spider wobble
    I am looking at getting a spider my question is this. If the female has a wobble will it for certain always be passed on in its genetics?

    thanks

    I thought some spiders an snakes with spider gene don't wobble or wobble just a little while others have a very bad wobble and it shows up worse when they are excited or overly stimulated.

    really? could you fill me in a little bit more? Is there certain degrees of the wobble? less or more? is it genetic? I would like to know as much about this as possible thank you

    It doesn't bother me so much. My bee has a slight wobble before striking df rats. She's my best feeder and is fine in every other way.

    that was my next question.....if a spider has a wobble and it isnt very very drastic does it hurt the sale point of view?

    As Ed said, all spiders wobble. The degree varies, as does when it expresses over the course of the snake's life (some will get better as they age, some worse). The wobble is inextricably linked to the spider gene.

    There are dozens (or more) of threads discussing this topic: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...stel-or-Spider

    Unless the wobble is extremely severe (which I believe is rare). The biggest factor that will affect it's sale, is it's looks and overall condition.
    Think their is a massive difference between a bright clean bee and a "dirty" one. Sane with spiders and other combos.

    Anything spider will wobble to a degree, but its really not a negative thing what so ever. They eat, breed and live happy lives like the champs they are.

    not going to beat a dead horse but all spiders do wobble. My killer bee wobbles only when it is feeding time, but he still has a snippers accuracy when it comes to grabbing is rats.
