    Re: spider???

    looks like a nice normal in the pic. i would like to see the rest of it.
    as far as the wobble goes, normals can have wobbles too. i would however keep an eye on it if the wobble is new. is it staring at the stars a lot?
    when it comes to spiders their genetically dominant. what that means is that its either a spider or its not.
    here's a great page with visual explanations to help you understand.http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html

    I think all BPs can have wobbles. My lesser wobbles when she's nervous or cold (it's not so much a wobble as it is a head shake side to side). my spider wobbles when he's excited

    Re: spider???

    I bet one day it (wobble) will be revealed to be a genetic defect/disease, not a specific spider trait. I am willing to bet that some people already know the answer to that question.

    Re: spider???

    Just a good ole regular normal

    Spider's are easy to pick out, they have a different color, head pattern, body pattern and even side and belly pattern..

    See.

    Re: spider???

    Are you just wondering if maybe your normal could be a Spider sibling resulting in sharing the wobble with the rest of the clutch?
