Wobble Gene

[MarkS]

I am going to quote this post, because I have six snakes with the spider gene in my collection and only have one snake that shows a hint of wobble, (Spinner male) he is a voracious eater and is fun and inquisitive and is my sons favorite snake.

The point I am trying to make with this is it does exist but is very overblown in my opinion with some people even having an agenda.

I'm glad you've had good luck with yours but you wouldn't think it was overblown if you've hatched out any that were hard core train wrecks. I've hatched a few like that, one female that could NOT eat unless I held the rat up against the side of her neck, another one that always needed help shedding because it just couldn't coordinate itself well enough to crawl out of it's own skin (and also needed help feeding). MOST spiders I've produced in the past have been fine and I currently DO have spiders in my collection, but only because of the other genes they carry. I'm not against spiders, most of the morphs look great. But all things being equal, I'd prefer not to have to deal with them in my collection.

I suspect that most people who own spiders wonder what the fuss is all about but then again I suspect that most of the real train wrecks never leave the breeders facility so the general public never gets a chance to see them.
