If it's ok to...

My only experience is a natural critical thinking mindset, i guess.
As a first generation immigrant, we were always taught to question someone intent when they are taking your money, thats all.

You're not questioning intent here, as there is clearly no malicious intent involved with Spider breeding--you're just downing on people who breed Spiders in an unnecessary, button-pushing kind of way. If you were staying open minded you'd respond to some of the more well presented arguments or responses like WingedWolfPsion's. Your choice to avoid responding to her, or even to myself, makes it seem like you're doing so because it allows you to banter more.

Again, no one would have a problem with you posting, "Hey, it seems like the Spider trait is plagued by wobble. Isn't it not worth it to breed them if we know they will have some genetic flaw? It seems cruel to me." Instead, you choose to present your argument as a joke, or in a facetious manner.

I can't accept that you are simply questioning intent, as it's clear that that isn't your true goal here. Just for perspective, I have never bred Spiders, so any disagreement I have here is not fueled by some want to continue making money on the morph. I also don't understand how you are unable to discern between breeding Spiders under normal circumstances, which would produce in an outstanding percentage of cases completely happy, functional snakes, and line breeding for train-wreck wobbles, which would lead to an outstanding number of unhappy, dysfunctional snakes. If it were possible to predict, which others with MUCH more experience than you have established it is not, it would clearly be wrong to breed to enhance or create a deleterious genetic defect. But, as it has been established, the wobble associated with the Spider mutation in a great majority of cases is in no way a devastating or deleterious genetic defect. Like I've already stated in a previously ignored post, stress kills reptiles. If Spiders with slight or moderate wobbles, even those with extreme wobbles in certain cases were stressed, they would be dying premature deaths. If a great majority of Spiders can eat, breed, and grow stress-free, there doesn't seem to be much meat behind looking down on those who choose to do so. If you want to point out an issue you have, and want people to take you and your opinion seriously, it would help if you presented your opinion in a mature, honest, and professional way. Otherwise, as has been the case so far in your thread, it just seems like you're being malicious and negatively provocative.
