    All spiders have a wobble to some extent, as long as the animal eats, drinks, and defecates normally it's not a problem. Any ball python even with the gene will have it also (EX bumblebee). I don't understand what your question is?

    All spiders have wobble to some degree, I have a few. I personally will not let it stop me from breeding them.

    It's up to you, Spiders are not for everyone they all wobble to a degree it can get better or worse over time, animals that barely show any sign can throw train wreck and vice versa it all comes down to being knowledgeable and decide for yourself it it is something you want to pursue or not.

    Personally I knew about Spider wobble before purchasing my female in 06 which didn't stop me even though the price tag was a different then and I can tell you I have not regret it and truly have enjoyed working with Spiders.

    There will be people every now that maybe out of ignorance might look down on you but that too is part of the game when choosing to work with spider.

    Good luck with your decision.

    Spiders make some really awesome combinations and are some of the best feeders around. I wish all of my snakes ate as well as my spiders. The wobble is no big deal. It's more pronounced in some than it is in others. Crossing it to other morphs is believed by some to lessen if not completely eliminate the wobble. N.E.R.D. is one of the biggest ball python breeders in the world and has done almost every conceivable spider combination possible.
