Re: How bad is your spiders wobble or spinning disorder!
I guess I lucked out, my girl has nothing I would consider a wobble. The previous keeper told me she did, but in comparison to normal looping I see in my normals and other morphs, I have seen nothing comparable in her beyond normal "wavering" before a strike.
Can your girl still eat and function?
How old is she?
Some do grow out of it in time.

She is only three years old and yeah she moves around like normal just when she stops and starts doing her thing she really goes, and she eats every week pounding down small rats and she grew into the disorder.
My male spider he just wobbles when he eats.

Mine looks like his head is vibrating when he eats... weird but I think it makes him unique.

My spider has been fine from hatchling to now which is 8 months, I watch him a lot at night an during the day. I haven't seen anything unusual or wobbling. I should tell you I spent years staying away from the spiders because of this issue and waited months before I bought one from someone I real really truly trusted. I am best of friends with the breeder and trust him beyond trust. This is why I knew this spider was the one for me.

My female corkscrews too. When she was in a taller cage (12" h) it was bad. I was afraid she would hurt herself. I moved her to a rack that is only 6" high and she seems to be doing better (eating and stress wise). Also, she doesn't corkscrew as much when shes being handled.

Mine doesnt seem to wobble any, but id say he corkscrews just a little, but hes in a 40qt so he just goes to the top and does almost like a back flip. But its not frequent, just a little when he first starts movin around at night then he stops

It's not just spiders that spin. I've got another morph that spins more than my spiders. I think it's a normal ball thing that the gene just makes worse. Of course, I'm not a genetics expert.
