blckphntm, the spider wobble is extremely unnatural. You don't have to have any experience with snakes to see a spider wobble and think that there is something wrong with the snake.

The fact that these snakes seem to thrive in captivity is itself surprising as heck to me, when I think about all the human disorders that cause motor problems.

It almost looks a bit like parkinson's syndrome to me, which is a bit disturbing until you get past the initial shock factor.

That said, spiders DO in fact thrive in captivity and I don't think it's wrong for anyone to work with these animals, but I hope that those who do respect the views of people who are completely turned off of spiders because of the balance and motor control issues.
