    Spider wobble

    I have this spider hatchling I've only had her for about a week and a half, and I was wondering how bad can the spider head wobble really be? I've never actually seen a spider do it in person until now and im not sure if its just the wobble or something else possibly wrong with her. I've seen her do from little wiggling motions with her head like she just cant hold it still to moving around with her head always tilted to the side and sometimes turning upside down briefly, are all these varying degrees of the spider wobble?

    Re: Spider wobble

    Yes. I have a spider that doesnt have a wobble at all and i am still trying to see if there is a head tilt, but i dont see one myself. I seen some with a bad tilt and wobble but its normal and the offspring may or may not have it nothing to do with the parents condition...

    Correct me if i am wrong. But this is from thing i have read and seen myself.

    Re: Spider wobble

    Some are really bad, some are mild, some dont show it at all for a couple years then will start out of the blue. its extremely variable. almost all spiders have it or develope it within a few shed cycles. I have 1 spider female that doesnt wobble at all... everytime I get her out to check her out I never know what to expect.. cuzz she could start wobbling anytime. sometimes it takes a few years to happen.

    Re: Spider wobble

    She is only about a 3 week old hatchling but does anybody know if the wobble can be bad enough to affect their ability to eat? She has fed before I got her and as I said its only been a week since Ive had her, I've tried feeding her once, she struck and missed and then just proceeded to wander the cage her tub seemingly in a daze so I'll let her be for a while before I try again but can the wobble hinder them from feeding properly?

    Re: Spider wobble

    I always thought the head wobble was fromt he super spider. or at least the research I have done on them.

    If you breed spider to spider it seems to happen more often. but spider to normal and they don't seem to show it much.

    Mine will be ready to breed next year and i plan to test this out

    Says who? I would love to see the info you found during those research.

    If you breed spider to spider it seems to happen more often. but spider to normal and they don't seem to show it much.
    Again based on what study?

    To date, no one has created a super spider that we know of.

    super spider? Never heard of it... lol

    some spiders have it severe I have seen a spider head go crazy and look as if it was going to tie its self in a knot while some have it so mild its almost as if there is nothing wrong with it they vary
