    Spider Wobbles (Question and Curious)

    I know the morph family is controversial, but I personally don't mind it as long as it doesn't affect their ability to live.
    I recently adopted a Spider morph, he's a small two year old boy.
    I'm just curious about Wobbles. Dino definitely has Wobbles, but I've noticed his isn't bad. Like at all. His wobbles is only "bad" when he first wakes up. Then only a little bit as he explores when I put him down somewhere. It usually take him two strikes to get his food, but my 4 year old Pastel Super Stripe is like that too.
    So is it going to get worse as he gets older? I'm curious when your spiders' Wobbles show up? I love Dino and I think it's really cute.

    Sometimes it gets worse, sometimes it gets better. It depends on a lot of things, like stress levels, husbandry, handling, etc. While no one can predict whether your snake's wobble will get worse or better, I will say that the worst cases of wobble I've seen were in snakes that suffered from inadequate care. The wobble may not be predictable, but you can reduce the chances of it getting bad just by taking good care of your snake.

    For my spider, he didn't show any wobble at all when he first hatched out. He started wobbling a bit as he learned how to move, and then it went down when he got the hang of it. His wobble is pretty minimal now that he's close to adult size.

    I have a spinner that only wobbles when excited or stressed, like when I first pick her up or when she eats. It's a good thing she will take f/t because her aim is so bad she'd never hit a live feeder except by accident.

    If she's just moving around in her enclosure she doesn't wobble.

    Here are a couple videos on Spiders that talks about why people don't think we should keep breeding them
