    Do the other spider morphs "wobble and spin" as well?
    I know there's a lot of talk about spiders that wobble and spin; I'm curious if it also shows up in other spider morhs (the "bee" morphs)? Is it the same, worst, better? Just curious...

    All spiders and spider morphs 'spin'. There are lots of forums on this discussion. Dont think they spin any different than spiders. Some spin bad some dont. Just depends on the individual snake. Spinning seems to be a genetic 'flaw' i guess you could call it that is believed to be part of the spider gene. Extreme spinning and seldom hardly notice spinning doesnt seem to be passed on to the next gen, its completely random whether itll be that noticeable or not.

    I guess the next question is does this have an effect on the snake itself? My spider spins like many others but it doesnt seem to affect her health in any way... right?

    I dont believe anyone has every come across an actual problem with spinning other than it affecting there "hand-eye" coordination, or maybe i should say mouth-eye coordination. Just seems to give em that little bit of extra personality ;)

    My male Spider does not spin around or anything dramatic. He does shake a little more when going after his prey, though. I never really thought much of it, and actually did not think he was any different from a normal BP, but it is a subtle difference that I now notice when he is going to strike at something. What my male exhibits, is more "wobble head" than spinning. He honestly never backflips, rolls, or does anything different except what I just stated. So I think that it is wrong to say that "all" spiders spin.
    You can notice his wobble-head when he is in motion sometimes too.

    Well, as you just said Jen, you have noticed your own wobble. Wobbling and spinning are pretty much hand in hand as a spider flaw exhibited in different movements.

    Seems like Nate was just mentioning that all Spiders have the flaw, be it wobbling or spinning.

    Kinda just a definition argument there... Nitpicking, maybe?

    All Spiders wobble/spin/bob/twist/etc or overall have movement issues seems like what Nate was trying to say.

    Cool. I just didn't know if mixing it with other genes had any impact on it or not.
