i have a predisposition to never want any spiders or morphs

[Seven-Thirty]

In my opinion the rare chance that an animal has a severe wobble is not worth missing the opportunity of working with these beautiful genes. I do however think that the ethical thing to do is avoid breeding any wobbly morphs together. I currently own a beautiful spider that seems to be perfectly normal. Someday I'd also love to add hidden gene woma, spotnose and champagne into my collection. I will do my best to avoid any breedings that combine those genes in effort to reduce the chances of producing severe wobble animals.

I've heard spotnose is less severe then the other genes mentioned and even has a viable super but I'm still going to avoid combining it with other wobble genes and producing the super.

One question I have is what do you do with an animal with a really bad wobble?
Is it right for breeders to cull those animals or is it there responsibility to try to keep the animal alive despite a potentially low quality of life? I feel like it would be more ethical to cull these animals but I have no first hand experience with a bad wobble animal and how bad it actually effects them.

in terms of mixing wobblers together, they tend to not thrive 99% of the time such as spider champagne, spider powerball, hidden gene woma champagne. But some of them come out perfectly normal like hidden gene woma spider, spotnose champagne, and spotnose hidden gene woma. Spotnose spider is iffybecause i've heard varying degress of the viability. Ben renick has made numerous combos of thatpairing and they'veall lived to adulthood with no noticeable problems or differences from regular spiders where as justin kobylka has stated that spider spotnose comes out extremely dingy but can still eat so, spider crosses with spotnose are still in infancy interms of information. (I got this information from asking them directly)

As for animals will really bad wobbles, from my understanding, the amount of spiders that come out with a really bad wobble still thrive, it's just a bit more time consuming during feeding time because you have to check wvery little bit to see if they lost track oftherat ornot. That is also a moot point because i have to that with my non-wobblers anyway. In my opinion a bad wobbler that would have to be euthanized would be something that's dingy beyond repair like NERD's pearls that Kevin would accidently make back in like 2009-era where lethal combos were still being discovered. Those snakes have a wobble that's a 100x more problematic than the spiders.

A little side note: I do not have anything against people who choose not to own spiders but what I have a problem with is people bad mouthing and bashing people who own or breed spiders. (I.e. Reptiblr)
