i had always believed that spider wobble lessened when combined with other genes - somehow watered it down
but
i had 2 spiders in the past where i did not observe wobble
i now have a mojave bee which exhibits a rather odd feeding behaviour.
When she smells rat she will strike out - but not necessarily at the rat. It is like she cannot combine the senses of heat detection and smell detection into a single target. I learned this the hard way when she smells rat but strikes at me. So i have to make sure the rat is hair dryed until it is hotter than i am. She never strikes without a food stimulation smell but when she smells food she will just go for the hottest target.
What I do now to feed her is heat the rat to well above natural temperature and put it in her tub. She will circle it for a while, then when it has cooled to a natural heat level for a food item she will have it. Much safer that way...lol I have no idea if this is some type of head wobble associated behaviour because i have never observed head wobble in her but I have never had any other snake striking in the wrong direction either ?
Opinions ?
