Thanks. Just want to clarify something, though. The breeder(s) I was referring to weren't saying that the TRAIT is something to avoid. In fact, they were stating that if you like spiders, buy one. The spinning/shakes does not seem to affect their ability to lead normal, healthy lives. They were saying that if a breeder states that HIS spiders don't have this trait, he should probably be avoided.
