    Re: Spider Wobbles??

May miss on the first strike. I hope he calms down a bit, and he's also fine when holding him, moves around fine.. VERY head shy! It's not the back and forth of the head, that's when he misses the rat pup, but not as bad as the video posted in the other thread.

    But the complete corkscrew is annoying. I have 2 spiders, and my female does it sometimes, but he seems to be always doing it when I look in his tub. Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong times, I don't know.
    It could just be stress from being in a new home. I moved my spider from one tub to another, and it took a good three or four weeks for his wobble to calm back down to its level of "normalcy." He's a mild wobbler, though too much stress sets it off like crazy. I was afraid to even touch his bin for the first week or so, just because I didn't wanna make it worse. My snake owner friend also made me paranoid about IBD, but he was still eating and wasn't losing weight or anything else that comes hand in hand with it.

    I just look at it as one of those minor imperfections you find in everything, but the wobble doesn't make me love spiders any less.
