No one knows if these snakes will end up living 40 years or die earlier than normal yet. I personally have chose not to work with them because of this defect. I think they are great looking snakes and the Lesserbees (check out the one John Piro is selling on KS it's insane) are one of my favorites but I have resisted buying any because of this. Maybe if someone figures out how to at least minimize this problem I would change my mind but I have seen some that were so bad that they pretty much layed coiled upside down 24/7.
No disrespect John but:

Laying upside down 24/7 is definately a red flag!

Not buying a snake because you are not sure if it will live 40 years?

Thats kinda asking alot in my opinion.

There are many spiders that don't show obvious signs of spinning, isn't that enough?

I think when you are thinking of buying a spider you should investigate and ask about spinning or bobbling and make decisions based on the animal. Just as I would any other morph/snake and when I ask about it's specific traits wether it is how white, blushing, flames, eating habits, pattern, browning, etc..

To me it's just one more trait to investigate.
