Hah!
My Bumble Bee (Pastel Spider) was the SWEETEST BP you could ever find. And a GREAT eater. Lucky for me, she had no visible wobble at all. The worst she did was sometimes miss her food at first strike. But ALL spider morphs have the wobble, some almost invisible, others pretty bad to the point of painful to watch. And the ones that have almost none, can get a worse wobble. While a bad wobble can seem to get better, simply by keeping the snake low stress. Once they settle in well and aren't excited/scared, they are much better. At feeding times the wobble seems to be worst. Most live full and seemingly happy lives.
Her hatchlings were also great eaters and sweet as can be. Her new owner ADORES that snake and she has given him a clutch of gorgeous hatchlings this year. All great eaters and beautiful
There are some other animals with this neurological defect. I have known of some dogs, they wobble while walking running, often falling over. Yet they are happy go lucky animals and there is no pain involved. They are just very unsteady animals.
I have heard that there are a couple of genetics which seem to produce a high percentage of rather snappy offspring. I could be wrong, but I think it may be the cinnamon's? Might not be true, though, just what I've heard..
