What specifically is it that causes the wobble that spiders carry?

Not always. I've known people who hatched out spiders that didn't have a wobble for quite some time, and then it just popped up out of nowhere... But yeah, a lot of them do hatch like that, so it's probably not autoimmune.

I guess I got wrong info then. I was told they had it from hatch but that it was more or less noticeable. Thanks!

And I do agree that when we can't figure something out in healthcare, we do tend to say, "oh, it's autoimmune." It serves several purposes. One is the patient or owner wants a reason, and the other is it gives us an excuse to give steroids, and corticosteroids usually seem to make vertebrates feel better even though they are often detrimental.
