    Spider ? To Breed or Not to Breed?

    Ok.. Todays question of the day/afternoon...

    I dont know how to set up a poll for this one or else I would.

    If you owned a Spider and it had a bit of a head wobble thing going on, everything else is fine... Would you breed it?

    Mine is Male by the way and doesnt have one just curious..

    There's no real evidence that the wobble can be bred out, or that snakes with a wobble will have all offspring that wobbles, so why not?

    Re: Spider ? To Breed or Not to Breed?

    I would. The wobble is something you just can't get past in the spider gene.

    Not every snake will get the wobble. Its more common but dont mean the babies will inherit it.
