Are Spiders really *this* weird? [aka OMG...I thought he was dead!]

[DooLittle]

Personally I disagree with the statement that they eat and live just fine. When I first got my boy brood when he was 8 months old I never saw a problem, he never shook or twirled and his strikes were always dead on. He just turned 2 in june, his twirling started little after his 1st birthday and now eating is very hard on him. He shakes so much its almost a vibration and even if the rat it touching his face he still misses. He went 4 weeks without food and not for lack of trying he would just get so put off with not being able to get the rat he would just give up.

I'm not against spiders, and I realize some people will never believe there is a problem but I still think its wrong to tell everyone that they are all fine, and Brood is proof even young ones that start out without a visible problem can end up with one. There are lots of spider morphs I would love to own but I never will.

Here we go....

Then don't own any, more for me. There are different degrees of wobble. There are plenty out there that do just fine, or else they wouldn't be around. How many do you know that have starved to death because they couldn't eat? I haven't heard of any. Most people I have seen on here that have spiders, none have a detrimental wobble, and that's a lot of spiders. I think the "train wreck" ones are minority. And there are plenty of other morphs out there that "have a problem", its part of breeding- kinking, duckbill, bug eyes..... They aren't all going to be the same degree of that problem. I wouldn't ever tell anybody not to get one because it could have wobble. This is an arguement that's been around forever. To each their own. Me, I love the spiders and bees.
