? On buying a spider ball python

[pavlovk1025]

Its a shame that 300 for a spider is considered on the high end.

I've had my male spider for 3+ years and he's never wobbled, spun, danced a jig or anything. He's produced two clutches, and a few babies have had a slight wobble during feeding time, but I've never seen it in him. The one male I have left from his clutch this year has never exhibited it either. So unless it's something that is going to show up later on down the road, I'd have to say you're wrong...unless you're "varying degree" includes none...

Ask Adam from 8ballpythons, Ralph Davis or even Brian from BHB.
Pretty sure they have all done 'studies' on the spider wobble. I know Adam has for sure. All Spiders have it at some point in their lives. Eeven if the owner doesn't 'see' it tht doesn't mean it's not there. It's genetic but no one's really looked into what causes it.

It doesn't affect their eating or quality of life so it's not a big deal.

well needles to say i didnt pick him up yes it was a male .. $300 for a male is high priced to me after seeing some prices from pictures from shows so im just going to hold off untill another show

[Karbon]

Yea, I agree.

With prices at what they are, $300 for a male is definitly pricey. I could see a spider het (something) being worth that.

Anyway, good luck on getting a nice female spider!

No need to get snippy here, I was saying that yes, no matter what you do it is in all spiders. Might not be bad, maybe it isn't shown at all in anything they do, but it IS THERE.

I know right? Prices are going down over the years...and in a way I really like it because -I- will be able to afford more, but then when something that was once considered such a high end morph isn't anymore, it's rather depressing almost.

Sorry...didn't mean to come off "snippy"...

and it's very different to say all spiders have wobbles, like you did in your first post, and then follow up with "it may be something that isn't shown at all in anything they do"...i.e. they don't wobble or spin...
