    Its not bad but it's in what youre looking for. Some people actually have a set price for a morph and dont jack up the fee for having a little more white.

    Mine has white halfway up the sides and it was the same as all the other females.

    BTW she is in the Picture threads if you want to see her.

    I like higher white spiders myself, BUT more importantly I would make sure the neurological aspects of the gene stock is in order. You don't want to place the wobbles in any of your combos...
    Everybody poops.

    All spiders have the wobble. From as mild as a slight head tilt, to severe corkscrewing. If you see enough spiders, you'll see it in all of them - you just know how to look for them. I love all four of my spiders, all who are mild wobblers, who I'd suspect someone might swear didn't wobble if they owned them.

    ok i'm confused now, so spiders have a thing where they wobble all the time? i didn't know that. why is that? and if you get one that wobbles a lot is that bad?

    No one knows why they do it.. But I own several spiders, produced a fair few and even have spider combos..I can tell you that every spider I have ever laid eyes on at some point does some form of wobble..it may be a head tilt, or full on lose of motor control..Is it a bad thing? its a spider thing..as long as it eats, sheds, poops, and breeds its just a spider..

    They don't wobble ALL the time, but in some it's almost like a Parkinson's type movement, sometimes barely discernable when you're handling them.

    Mine eat, poop, grow and shed, and the boys breed (the girls aren't big enough yet).

    It's part of what makes a spider a spider.

    Re: spider ball

    I have a question about the spider wobble. I read that a spider and a pastel make a bumblebee right? So would the bumblebee offspring all have that wobble as well?

    Re: spider ball

    I heard that double spider morphs like bumble bees, honey bees, spinners etc, have a less like change of wobbling/spinning. Any truth to this? I don't see why it would make a difference tho.
    1.3 ball pythons (albino, het albino, pastel, lesser)
    1.4 leopard geckos (reverse stripe tremper albino, tangerine, carrot tail, snake eyed, patternless)
    0.1.4 corns (snow, classic, amel, stripe, ghost stripe)
    0.0.1 pueblan milksnake
