Spider with very little "wobble"

[SDA]

I'd really like to see test cases on this. I've never seen any of this in any of the spiders I've kept (from regular spiders to bees, etc). I have a vanilla killer bee right now that has a TERRIBLE corkscrew when he gets excited, ex. during feeding time. But he strikes fiercely, is fairly accurate (at least no less than a typical BP), swallows his prey down, evacuates on the regular. When I have him out he grips, he's curious... I see little to no behavioral or physiological differences between him and my plain, normal male BP. I have never seen any behavioral or physiological differences between any spiders I've kept and my normal BPs.

I don't have a large collection, so I think it would be interesting for someone to test this and track the differences, and then document said test cases. I haven't read the article you're referring to... did they do this? Or just paint in broad strokes?

Note when reading the admission of a alarmingly small sample size and subjective results due to the survey methods used. This was a highly biased and rather unscientific study that started the whole fear of the spider gene.

One animal welfare respondent stated, "Mild torticollis would still be quite uncomfortable, according to the 'how would that make me feel?' principle."
