Spider Wobble?

I love the spider gene and all the morphs it can produce.

I know that most if not all have the wobble or the twist. My question is do you have one that as these problems? And if so how bad?

Every spider and spider combo I have has it. they range from minor to pretty wacked at feeding time..

Have you ever thought about video taping it, adding some cool dance music, and marketing it on an infomercial as the next big fitness craze?...

Have you ever known any to grow out of it or is it pretty much a lifelong thing they they have? Or is it still too early to tell for the spider morph?

Yes I produce a train wreck spinner two years ago. This thing would tie himself in knots. Broke my heart cause he was sold just waiting on him to start feeding. He didn't start to do it right out of the egg, it started about 3 weeks after he hatched. Well I was so upset, I kept him fed him and watched him grow. Over time it (the spinning) got less and less. I called the person that wanted him and explained the development. She said she still wanted him. I told her if it stared back let me know and I'd make it right. Now at his new home for over a year, the owner says that he barely does it at all.

I've also seen them barely if at all show signs of it and after being shipped you take them out of the bag and they are corkscrewing all over the place, and after they settle down they go back to the way they were, and some don't..

I watched some of Freakie's video on his spider and spider combos wobble. They're very good videos (specially the part where the female gets away... lol). I'd recommend watching them if you want to know more about the wobble.

my spider does it but it is very minimal.

Yea nothing like trying to be all Dr. Dolittle and stuff and having a snake decide she's going to RUN!!! I really need to do one during feeding day so you can see them when they go bonkers flopping all over the place..

Ours doesn’t wobble ...... yet. But he does tilt his head oddly most of the time. Almost like a dog that hears something will do. You can tell that something is "off" with him when he is cruising around checking things out. He is also so much different than our other balls. Almost like he’s more inquisitive or smarter, kinda?

That head tilt is part of the wobble..it's a minor mild version of it..

I have a bumblebee which is 2 yrs old and shows no signs of a wobble at all unless its feeding time. The one in my avatar. She gets excited when she sees a mouse or rat moving and begins to slightly vibrate her head. She does not roll or wobble when constricting or eating. Only when she is ready to strike. She has no problems holding her head up and looking around. Its just a very slight difference when she is in attack mode. Otherwise she is just like any other BP.

My spider has a slight wobble. If it is feeding day and he raises his head up to get the rat, his head will wobble a bit. It hasn't gotten better or worse since the day I got him.

I've seen a woma with a bad wobble during feeding. Is it common in womas, too?

...I admit, I do like the fitness video idea.

I have a younger Bee that has that same head tilt <also alittle vibrating when hes in feeding mode> Pretty mild compared to some Ive seen.

he seems to be the more inquisitive of my balls too, always peaking out of his hide if Im in the room and watching whats going on. Creeping to the side of the tub if Im looking in at him.
