Hi,
I just recently bought a spider female(young only 140g or so) and it was a great price. Well when I recieved her(100% healthy no problems thing stated) her head shakes. And it tilts at an angle. She has no other signs of anything wrong, and my snake person tell sme there is a genetic disorer known of in spider morphs. Then he contacted several people he knows that have seen this in THIER spider morphs in person before and they confirmed this.
I took her to the local Vet College yesterday, and I will detail out all the stuff there if anyone is interested, short form, they examined her and gave me antibiotics, in case tehre is some infection. Once they took her back for the exam proper they became very excited as the first vet was thinking IBD or similar thing as she had not heard of the genetic thing.
They ended up with 20+ vets in the room looking at her, as this was new to them. They agreed she didn't have any of the other symptoms of any infectious disease.
My question is:
Has anyone here heard of this, seen this, or have a snake affected?
I will answer any questions that I can at this point.
I cannot say who I recieved the snake from as it could be slander until this is proven. I am currantly negociating hopefully, unless he blows me off, which seems a bit likely. Then all bets are off.
Any links to any online resources that mention this would be appriciated as well, I tried searching in several search engines, came up nada.
Thanks in advance.
