    Re: Spider wobble in full effect

Every snake has a bad day, especially young snakes- but this is an adult. This is not the first time this has happened to her. (Though I don't recall her ever giving up before) She tries to eat her rat from the wrong end, can't seem to find the head at all, then seems to lose it altogether. After this video she gave up and would not even strike at a fresh meal. This problem has also been observed in my bumblebees (pastel spider).
    I know these problems could be bred out if breeders would take an interest in breeding only the best, strongest and healthiest snakes and STOP breeding the deformed and retarded just to make a quick buck...."

    You really don't see her wobble? She's wobbling as soon as she releases the ASF. The twisting of her body before she released it is also very typical of the spider wobble/spin behavior as well. In some spiders it can be so subtle, that unless you know what you're looking for (or want to convince yourself that yours doesn't wobble) you won't see it.

    I think that you're going to be very disappointed if you truly believe that the wobble can be bred out of the spider. Even the most "stable" spider can throw trainwreck babies. It's not about breeders out to make a quick buck - especially with the price of spiders today, there are many other morphs that can be worked with to "make a buck" with. Most people who keep and breed spiders do so because they love morph, even with its quirks.
