I see you keep saying no one told me about spider gene, no one told me to quarentine, I will be honest as a pet owner it is YOUR job to do some research and know what to expect when acquiring an animal whether it is a dog, cat, snake etc now what you need is deal with the issue at end and take it as a lesson learn which is also a great reminder of why it is important to buy from a reputable breeder.

A spider with wobble is not the end of the world the majority will do fine if kept in an optimum way, limited stress, lower temperture etc.
Hi Deborah

Now you guys understand me wrong i love my spider! i take extra care in his cage no high objects etc. He has an awesome attidude not scared at all and always lies with his body inside the hide and his head on the "porch"

I had the temp of his belly heat down to 30.5 to 31 but then he would remain there and not go to his cold hide at all ? i had it like this for a full 24 hours and he came out at night hunting mode but afterwards went straight back hot hide.

This was my reason for upping the temp the corkscrew has severely gotten less since we last spoke.
