Not everyone does breed them. While at this point it does not seem like there are any short or long term problems with spiders longevity, breeding, feeding... because of the wobble I have chose not to work with them. There are so many other nice affordable morphs out there that are perfect I personally am staying away from spiders. I don't look down on others who do choose to breed them, but they are not for me. My main concern is that there is no way of really knowing what there quality of life is. I don't think just because they eat and breed means they have a good quality of life. That is just instinct IMO. While some just have a little tick, I have seen spiders that literally rolled over when crawling and sat with their head flipped upside down 24/7. I can't imagine that is a good life. I really wish there was a way to fix this problem because there are a ton of spider combos that I think are amazing looking. Maybe evetually someone will figure it out, but that seems pretty doubtful at this point. Good luck with whatever morph you end up picking.
