I was just wondering about this myself. I'm not breeding ball pythons yet, but soon I will be. One of the ladies I'm getting is a fire spider that I am assured has no wobble. No wobble in the lines, either. Everywhere else I read says that all spiders have some degree of wobble. I want to extract the fire from the fire spider, but I'll get spiders while I'm working on that. What do I do if they have wobble? I have no intention of selling unhealthy snakes. What if I get kinks, failure to thrive or stillborns? What if I'm drowning in normals that won't sell, I can't find someone to buy them wholesale and I've run out of room to house them and feeders to feed them? I think it's responsible to have a contingency plan, especially since king snakes eat more than just other snakes.

I raise meat rabbits, pigs, chickens, rats and mice, and I have contingencies in place for them, so why not for my ball pythons? Plus, it makes it easy to justify getting another snake
