Okay, I'm not gonna quote folk as there's too much to quote, but correct me if I'm wrong...to the people comparing Spiders to "People Morphs," aren't humans...mmm, a SOCIAL MAMMAL as opposed to a moderatly solitary REPTILE???
I am not worried about one snake making fun of or shunning another for their odd wobble.
Also...do you really think that if snakes did magically grow social mammilian tendencies, that they'd READILY ACCEPT snow-white leucistics or glaring yellow Albino Pinstripes or any of the really outlandish morphs? The Spider's little wobble would be like spitting in the ocean.
I agree, comparing snakes to people who have human dwarfism is kindof horrible and a little offensive. I also have seen and read some interesting things from a societal point of view...how some little people actually enjoy being different and how many choose partners who have the same genetic different-ness. Heck, there was even a CSI episode featuring a convention for 'em!
If the wobble were negatively affecting their quality of life, it'd be different, but until I find a Spider who seems unhappy I'm gonna continue to appreciate this beautiful, quirky morph.
