    I'd look for both and if they're from the same breeder you should be able to work a deal if you got both. :gj:

    Ohh I love albinos. I dont have one but if given the chance I would certainly pick the albino..
    The deal is after the albino, well then you get the bumblebee, then after that you get the spider....LOL, it never ever ends.

    There's no real decision to make :)

    Albinos win everytime . Sheer beauty personified and no worries of head wobbles somewhere down the road ( as with the others you mentioned ).

    Head wobble doesn't matter and nothing super about albinos.

    Whats the end game plan?
    If you might think to breed in time get all females.
    If you get a bee there is no need for a spider.
    Breeding plan wise I would get them all LoL
    Male Bee and a female Albino, that pairing would throw everything you mentioned with the added plus of all of them being Het Albino.
    Would also throw the same odds with the normal girl just no het in the mix.

    For pets, they are all great.:gj:

    Really !??

    I'd check on utube before suggesting that head wobbles don't matter !

    They look awful when they are throwing themselves around and some are badly affected when eating .... and many agree that breeding using the deformed gene is practically criminal ...

    You should study a little more. :gj:
    Im not going to debate the wobble with you.
    There are thousands of spiders owned by members on just this forum, WE actually own them and have first hand knowledge dealing with them.

    Whilst I admit that the Bees and some Spiders look real nice I'd still be reluctant to buy nevermind breed anything with a known neurological defect .
    That's just me .... maybe it's just one of those cultural differences we keep coming up against. :)

    There's no need for me to waste time studying something I am simply opposed to . The evidence is there for all to see .

    As I said some of the video evidence is simply harrowing . It's just MY opinion . I have no desire to argue or fall out .

    My first ball was an albino, my third was a bumble bee. Either way, you're good to go. My only issue with bumble bees is that most of them lose their bright yellow by 400 grams or so, and just look brown as adults. Albinos can fade a bit as they get older, but still stay extremely contrasted throughout life.

    If you decide to go bumblebee, don't let the head wobble deter you. While there are extreme cases, they are uncommon and don't usually get offered for sale, or are sold cheaper. If it's an issue for you, ask the breeder/source on the status of the wobble.

    My bumblebee doesn't wobble at all, but my spinner and pewter spinner do some pretty crazy things sometimes yet they eat just fine.

    I know :-( I love the bright yellow in the bumblebees wish they could keep all the bright yellow. That's why its between an albino they keep the yellow an doesn't really fade.

    Yes really... We have 3 bees and a caramel spider. 1 bee has no wobble, the caramel and another bee have little wobble, and our last bee looks like he's on a roller coaster...he's also the most entertaining snake we own. ;) (side note... no eating issues from any)

    I presumed you'd described his wobble as a roller coaster which would adequately describe a few I've seen .. Apologies if I misunderstood you .
