I'm firmly in the camp of "there are morphs without neuro issues out there that can be bred so why breed the ones with neuro issues?"
Spiders and their combos can be absolutely gorgeous, I understand. They make some of the most striking BPs out there. But I don't feel right choosing to create animals that will with 100% certainty carry a genetic problem, and that they may suffer from, when I could instead choose to create animals with no higher than usual risk of being born with problems/defects/disabilities.
The difference between owning and loving an animal with a problem and intentionally breeding two animals together that will result in offspring with a problem is very clear to me.
As for whether the wobble is painful, I don't think can't really know that with 100% certainty. And if it's not painful, is it uncomfortable? Is it frightening, frustrating? Does it cause them stress? I have problems with confusion sometimes and I can tell you it is very stressful trying to make sense of a world that seems different from how it just was in your head. Maybe on a basic level they experience something like that. We just can't ask them, so we don't know.
And since there is no consensus on whether the animal suffers from wobble or not, I see breeding an animal with the wobble, knowing that its offspring will have the genes for the wobble, is unethical. Which brings me back to my first point: you are in a hobby in which there are thousands of possible morph combinations out there to be bred for, dinkers to be proven out, polygenic traits to play with, etc. Why include one of the handful of morphs with a known genetic defect in your breeding projects?
All the same, love and fat rats to all the wobbly babies out there and those who will be born in breeding seasons to come
