    Re: Spider wobble in full effect

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.

    I sincerely wish you well in your drive to do so. Many hundreds of breeders over the past 11 years have also had the same ambition as you do. So far, in eleven years, all spiders still wobble. Any breeder worth their salt wouldn't tell you otherwise just to sell a snake.
