Now I just make sure to note, when I sell them, that these animals can have a wobble, and can develop it at any time, just like spiders. There's nothing wrong with the animal, it's just part of the mutation.

    There's nothing wrong with your spider, and her offspring are no more likely to wobble than the offspring of any other spider.
    Well I do remember than when we shipped the overnight lows were not the best. She arrived pretty cold.
    I just assumed he screwed me over because I have bought 2 snakes from him before the spider. And he was great and more than willing to answer any and all questions, the snakes were in great shape. And then I tried contacting him about the spider and I got no response.

    I figured I just had to take on loss on her.
    well it makes me feel better once again that you guys think breeding her can be done.
    I just hope the babies wont have that kind of a wobble...but what if they do? how would I sell them?
    This is why I wanted to get out of spiders! arrg.
    Love the way they look and their combos but man it just isnt worth it to me.

    I would not hesitate at all to move her into the rack. Also if you get a chance to, posting a video of it would really help. No matter how well you try and explain the severity of it, the wobble could be worse or better than what were picturing in our heads lol.

    For comparison, is it as bad as this? Not as bad or worse?:

    Her wobble is EXACTLY like that spider in the video you linked. Except she doesnt always have her head tilted.

    I have a video on my phone but alas I broke my phone last night and wont have a replacement from the company until tomorrow. I will post a video as soon as I can.
