I'm not entirely sure what happened to that sentence -- I'm guessing it's a weird typo and you meant to ask if there's any proof that the severity of the wobble is genetic ..?

To my knowledge there is no conclusive proof, and it is said that you can produce train wrecks out of non-wobblers and non-wobblers out of train wrecks. That said, I would never breed a severe "wobbler" just in case.

It used to be said that ugly pastels could produce nice pastels, and vice versa. That was the dogma for years. We now know that selective breeding goes a long way -- it just can take a few generations, with some flukes in between.

Spiders are clearly here to stay, so IMO, to minimize the chances of producing the occasional seriously affected animal, it's worth avoiding breeding those that are severely affected.
