If it's ok to...

Honestly i would like to know if this is actually true or if it is something breeders say to keep business running. Has anyone tried to breed extreme wobble x extreme wobble and kept the babies forever to see if they develop a wobble? The statements about how you "just cant do it" seem fabricated and unjustified.

Goodness--YES, it actually IS true. Why try to make out everyone who breeds Ball Pythons and works with Spiders to be money hungry, deceitful people? A Spider goes for under $200 these days, hardly enough to make it this super-valuable "product" worthy of some snake conspiracy. First of all, there are almost NO people out there doing Spider to Spider breedings, as the homozygous form is either lethal, or unproven. So your argument is pointless. Secondly, it has been proven by many people, not just big breeders, that wobble is not something predictable, or line-breedable. Do you really think everyone who has bred a wobbly Spider and gotten wobble-free Spiders, or everyone who has bred a wobble-free Spider and gotten Spiders with sever wobble is lying about their results? I mean EVERYONE, in a big Spider wobble conspiracy to 'keep business running?' Of course not! The notion is unrealistic and silly. As I stated in my last post, your facetious approach is unwarranted, unnecessary, and ineffective. If you have a genuine concern, why not be straight forward and mature about it? It would help you stimulate the right kind of conversation, and would allow people take you more seriously.
