    Re: Spider wobble in full effect

    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.

    The slight "wobble" you see with this spider when she releases her prey is not unlike what I observe in normals when feeding or targeting. The spin she does is a typical releasing maneuver to get her teeth out of the prey so she can get it out of her mouth. But I'm not saying this spider is free of the defect. Quite the opposite in fact. I am saying that what I thought was a wobble-free spider does in fact have problems that I think are connected to the wobble defect.
    I am not going to let the fear of disappointment keep me from trying to breed out the defect. I believe it is a worthwhile venture. I love the spider trait as much as anyone, but I sure would love it more without the defect! And you know what, if you could ask the snake, I think she would agree.
