I do like the look of the spider, but don't want to chance having it come up too often. My goal is babies that are healthy, and have the best chance of a long life. I know we have the power to control just certain things, and its up to the universe to control the rest. My concern is i do the best in my power for my babies, because we certainly can't control mother nature.
    I assume what you want is to breed the wobble out? Well it cannot be done all offspring with the spider gene in them, will wobble to a degree (anyone saying they have spiders that do not, have not produced enough spiders or are not paying close attention)

    Now the degree is from very mild (hardly noticeable to the untrained eye) to severe, it can be severe as hatchling and lessen as they grow, or the opposite, other things may increase or lessen the severity as well such as stress, tempertures...

    Severe wobbler can produce mild wobbler and vice versa.
