    Anyway, at the last Tucson Reptile Show we purchased 2 hatchling females from a local breeder we know. One, a spider would not eat anything for us and always seemed very skittish and easily stressed (for a ball even). We tried just about everything you can try to get a finicky ball to take a meal. Finally the breeder offered to take her back and get her eating.

    If an animal can't control their movements, how happy can they be? It's obvious that when they strike and miss, they aren't trying to miss.
    That's a finicky ball python, which can happen with any mutation. How is the snake's finickiness even related to the spider wobble? I've got a clutch of pastels that took their own sweet time to start eating. Some breeders at shows will sell freshly hatched ball pythons before they've even had their first meal. I do not agree with this practice and will not allow an animal to leave my collection until they've had three consecutive meals with me, and I'm confident that they are a strong feeder.

    Your example is about a finicky snake. Just because it happens to be a spider doesn't mean squat for your argument.
