    Re: Do all morphs get "head wobble"?

    I guess what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't let the wobble scare me off of spiders. Spider combos are among my favorite morphs, and as long as the snake isn't flailing around constantly and having trouble eating I don't see the wobble as a huge issue.

    I'm more nervous about the kinking in the caramel albinos, honestly. XD
    If you are 'nervous' about ANY animal, you shouldn't get it. just because it isn't flailing around constantly doesn't mean much. It's knowing that certain animals have that problem, then trying to get the odds of them having that gene when you breed them.

    Are you saying that you think it is cute when an animal has a neurological disorder? Spiders have involuntary muscle movement. Its similar to Parkensins. I don't think that is 'endearing'.

    People never have to have a morph in their collections. I wouldn't care if spider ball pythons went 'extinct', or nobody bred them anymore.

    If I made a morph and knew it had problems, I wouldn't sell any. I have never had caramel bp, because it has kinks, spiders have muscle control problems, and I never had certain leopard geckos because they have problems. Enigmas are similar to spiders, and murphy patternless are known for infertality.
    People are never required to buy any certain morph. Even if I liked spider combos alot more I wouldn't buy one. Pretend it never existed.
    It's not that hard.
