    Re: spider gene wobble and ibd?

    This is my first spider morph and have never seen the wobble in action, before i bought her i asked the breeder if she had any signifcant wobble. He said no she didnt, but today i looked in on her and she was wobbling alot, head twirls, uside down movements with the head etc.

    It then got me thinking how do u tell the difference between a wobble from the spider gene and a snake with ibd? Is there a notable difference?

    She is in quarentine, and im sure she doesnt have ibd but i would like to be assured on the differences, they are both neurological dissorders right?
    IBD is a disease not disorder. If she has IBD she will be dead in no time, Id be more worried about a boa having IBD since they can go their whole lives carrying it. Pythons once exposed are dead in a short period of time. Your snake has spider in it, it does not have IBD.

    All spiders have the potential to wobble, I've personally seen how a spider can appear to have no wobble, then change homes and develop a horrible wobble, then come back home and have a minimal wobble.

    Stress appears to play a big factor in how much they wobble, he/she just changed homes, so it could be a very stressful time. Make sure your husbandry is right and she might calm down over the next couple weeks. Its quirk all spiders have the potential to show.
