    Albino Spider head wobble?

    I have a couple of questions about this. Does anyone here have an Albiino spider and if so how bad is the head wobble. I have been looking to get one but everyone i've inquired about has a wobble. I've been told to just stay away from this combo. Any comments or suggestions? Anyone know where I can pick on up with no wobble? Thanks for the help.

    Anything with the spider gene has this characteristic. I dont know why anyone would tell you to stay away from them

    All spiders have a wobble some worst ten others and certain things cause it to show more such as stress and excitement.

    i currently own bumblbee,killerbee and mojobee and the spider head woble is present in all. the mojo bee doesnt show it much. any spider based morph will have some kind of head wobble wither big or small. there is nothing wrong with the wobble.

    If you're "staying away", it should be from all spiders and spider combos, because they'll all wobble to some degree. In which case, go for an albino clown project or an albino pin instead.

    But if you absolutely must have the albino spider, and are willing to do some leg work and look around, you can probably at least find one that only has a small wobble.

    Is this correct or am I misunderstanding something?

    I own a Albino Spider and as with all Spider combos is has a slight wobble. It does not interfere with feeding or anything I cannot imagine why anyone would say to avoid this combo, it is a breathtaking morph.

    Anyone know where I can pick on up with no wobble?
    Every Spider and Spider combo has a wobble to a certin degree. The only thing you should is to make sure it not bad enough to interfere with eating.

    Re: Albino Spider head wobble?

    If you have a spider with no wobble, you just have not noticed it yet. They all have it, if you don't notice the wobble now, it will develop in time.
    Or it may be so slight, you never really notice.
    But it's still there regardless.

    Re: Albino Spider head wobble?

    Thanks for all the input. I know all spiders have the wobble to some degree, some more serve then others. I have a spider, and the wobble isn't really that bad. I was more concerned because of the albino gene possibly making it worse. I have seen a couple of ads were people are getting rid of the bp do to the serve head wobble. With that, the last couple of expo's I've been to, I have been told the albino wobble is pretty bad overall. I just put this up here because you guys have seen and heard way more the have. Speaking of albino pinstripes, I am looking into those as well.

    Thanks
