Re: Spider wobble in full effect

Seems pretty apparent to me that the animal in the first video, even with the exaggerated wobble, was still capable of striking and coiling its prey. It moves in jerky uncoordinated movements, but it can still lead a normal life. No reason to cull them off, especially since these "handicaps" don't surface until they reach a more mature state.
Also the spider shows the signs of the wobble, which is inherently a part of its genetic makeup, but I am 100% positive that other morphs out there have other "handicaps" that aren't so apparent. They could simply be internal deviations, or lack accurate vision, or the thermal pits could be skewed. We honestly do not know.
If and when you go to breed you simply need to understand that these are morphs, which in short form mean that they are merely mutations. With every mutation there are other factors that change other than just color. Don't crucify one morph for a genetic "fault" when one of your personal animals could have something far worse internally you do not know about, because the animal cannot tell you it can't see or smell properly.
