    Must Be Doing Something Right!
    Soooo.... My Spider went in to the shed cycle about 4 days ago. I noticed when the eves fogged over. Came home today to a better than perfect shed.

    He looks amazing!!!

    people over think about the spiders and their wobbles.... wobble or not.... the snake feed and grow wonderfully.

    All my spiders and spider combos wobble to some extent.... and they are all wonderful

    I really haven't seen a lot of Morphs I like, but that is really cool looking.. Can I ask about how much a Spider cost?

    JPerkins, if you want a spider and you see one you LOVE that has a noticeable wobble. Look past it. If anything it adds character. All ball pythons with the spider gene will have it, some more noticeable than others.

    Breading spiders with the wobble is a personal choice, I don't see it as right or wrong. If my spider develops it I will treat him leek the rest if them. That is just my opinion.

    As long as your spider does not have a SEVERE wobble, there is no problems with breeding it.

    And just because your spider has a wobble, doesn't mean that it's offspring will have the same wobble. So you COULD breed a spider with a severe wobble and it's offspring have little to no wobble.

    My bees don't wobble much except for when it comes to feeding. Weedle strikes his prey and seems to barrel roll with it :p I find it most entertaining

    Wobble is a neurological desiese most commonly found in the spider gene. Search it on YouTube there is tons on there.

    With that being said the same will apply the other way. You could bread a morph with the spider gene that dose not present any wobble. And the offspring could come out with the wobbles.

    It is in all ball pythons with the spider gene. I believe it's also found in the woma as well.

    Our normal shakes a little when she is getting ready to strike her prey. Sometimes she misses too? She always curls the mouse up after striking.. Is this Wobble?

    Oh wait I just seen one kinda doing like a Stevie Wonder head wobble and like twisting all over.. Our Avalon doesn't do that.

    Nice little spider! My spider male was my first BP morph. It is one of my favorites, I have 4 total currently. Two female spider het pieds, a male spider het hypo, and a basic spider male. The wobble thing is not too bad and all of mine eat like champs with no problems at all.

    Do a forum search for spider wobble and you'll find everything you need to know. Wobble isn't a disease. It isn't contagious or transmissable. All ball pythons carrying the spider gene have the potential to wobble. Some will show more than others. My spider female only shows any signs of it when she gets startled, and it's very mild and only lasts for a second. My lesser bee hasn't dispalyed any wobble whatsoever in the few months I've had him. Both are eating consistently, shedding regularly and growing nicely...

    Don't let the wobble scare you away from spiders if it's a morph you really like...
