I didn't notice anyone worrying about how other snakes would make fun of spiders, but rather that getting around as they do makes their life harder.
What is hard for them (like striking, simply going in a straight line, etc), other snakes can do easily. The survival and breeding instincts are still there and the mutation does not get in the way of that in a captive setting, but when the brain tells their body to go in a straight line and they aren't getting the correct response, it is likely on some level stressful.
