    Sammie, I completely agree! But I have a mental block when it comes to breeding an animal with a known genetic defect. I just can't wrap my head around it...

    Rob, I think she's talking about spider wobble. I totally agree, and I hate that they can have it, but way more often than not, it doesn't really have any negative impact on the animals life.

    That's what I figured. I don't consider it a defect at all. They feed breed and thrive just the same as any other morph. If anything a little "wobble" gives them a little extra personality.

    Yeah, I know a lot of people feel the same. I admittedly have a tendency to anthropomorphize, and so I imagine that spiders and I experience "the spins" in the same way. I'm certainly not judging anyone that breeds spiders; I just know that I would be on constant guard, worrying and empathizing with my poor wittle baby wobblekins.
