And since its most likely not genetic it may go away with proper care
If not then it will be a great story and most likely a great snake for your collection

I HAVE heard of womas spinning, by the way--I've seen it. My friend has a female woma who spins like crazy. It's distressing to watch. And my friend is annoyed about it, too, because she had no idea womas could spin, she had plans for this female, and the breeder never said a word about it.

I think if the spinning is that bad, it explains the $50 price tag. But if you do buy him, don't breed him! No need to make it worse with more spinning woma babies.

Like i said earlier there is something wrong with it hence the low price tag. I did read the whole thread by the way. I don't see how a neurological disorder can go away, it sure hasn't with the spider morph.

Sure it is a pretty snake but I would buy a healthy animals with no known problems before I would buy a discounted animal with issues. I highly doubt someone offered a higher price for it and they turned it down. It's about the mighty dollar man, the price is so cheap because no one wants to buy a animal with problems.
Realistically you can't look at this as a rescue either. The animal is in a good home so to say, so your buying a problem animal that he doesn't want to deal with.

You say you've read the entire thread, and yet you completely passed over the fact that it has already been stated that this animal would be bought from a BREEDER who got the animal WITH it's issues already in place due to lack of proper husbandry by the PREVIOUS owner.

Could it possibly be that this breeder needs some space and would love the animal to go to a good home as a pet and does happen to have a conscience, forgoing the underhanded tactic of selling an animal with neurological problems for as high a price as a perfectly healthy Woma would go for?

Lol you guys crack me up.
Ok so a breeder bought the snake knowing it had issues and now they are trying to dump it off on someone for a cheap price. Nobodys gonna pay full woma price when it has issues that's why I highly doubt anyone offered them a realistic healthy animal price and they turned it down.

Say what ya want I read the thread, I do find it funny tho how a breeder bought it and now they are trying to sell it for only $50 when other people have offered them more.

Anyone can say no I'm not gonna breed it and still breed the animal that's why I don't believe the story at all. I'm not saying the person who started the thread is lying. I believe they are totally honest but I think what they were told was a lie.

I promise I'm not a liar!

It is probably true that he is bs-ing me on the offers, I agree. But it does say something that he isn't trying to sell it at normal price and screw an unknowing buyer

[bman123]

No I'm not saying that you are lying, not at all I truely believe you but I don't believe what the breeder is telling you at all. The breeders I know would not buy a animal with problems. It's just fishy that a breeder would buy a problematic animal from someone and then turn around and try to sell it to someone else.

It just sounds like a flipper to me. I'm not trying to ruffle anyones feathers here, that's the last thing I want to do. It just doesn't add up in my book but my opinion doesn't have to mean anything to you guys. I'm just stating how I feel on this situation.

I do believe the thread starter on this but I believe what he was told was a lie. It all comes down to what you want to do. I don't want any animals like that in my collection as it is sad to see stuff like neurological problems in animals. They can't help themselves and can't control it. Just like a handicapped person it is a shame that it happens and it is very sad, that's why I wouldn't buy it, I wouldn't take it even if it was free.

Get that snake a swing set or something.

While vehement arguments could be made either way on this, it IS possible the person who owns it is telling the truth. I bred birds for 20 years, and occasionally I took in a handicapped bird just to get it away from the owners who mistreated it. I intended to keep these birds for life, I certainly wouldn't try to sell them as healthy. However, on a few occasions, a particular person was taken with a handicapped bird, and I did sell one very cheap, knowing the buyer knew what they were getting into. I never regretted doing so, since each one I placed went on to live long lives, or are still living now. Would I do it every time, no. Did I also try giving the bird to the interested party? Yes, only to find out people who were serious about getting a handicapped bird always refused to take it for free, although one woman paid for the cage, and the bird happened to come with it, or that's what she told me.

My point is, maybe the snake owner is being truthful, if you don't know them how can you say for sure? While I have not yet heard about a spin or wobble in a Woma, I don't know everything and maybe they are out there, just not as widespread as Spiders.

The bottom line is, what if the snake is just what the owner says, a sweet, well fed pet who happens to have a small issue. If they snake is healthy and eats well, and judging from the pictures it does, and the OP only wants a pet, why shouldn't he get it? Who are you to tell him he'd be stupid to do it just because you wouldn't? If he thinks he has a place for this snake and he can live with the slight issue, I say bring that baby home!! If I were in his place, I would.
