    I really do respect your opinion, but I don't think you can say that ALL spiders spin with such authority without knowing the basis of all breeders out there and their work with spiders. Yes, working with one large breeder is experience, but it is still only one breeder who either has or hasn't concentrated his efforts into breeding for less wobble.


    On to the "spiders all came from one WC male", yes that's true, but spiders are also one of the most outcrossed animals out there. How many people honestly put two spiders together? Not very many that's for sure.

    I believe most people breed them to normals because what fun is it in breeding two spiders when there is no super form?

    It is possible to breed out bad genes, but it takes time and many generations of very selective educated breeding to accomplish that small task. Can spiders even be separated from the wobble? I don't know, but I do believe there is progress being made with more and more people choosing to breed those that don't wobble, or wobble very little when excited.

    The wobble may even be created by the way the gene works, like it withholds a certain protein the cells need, or the migration of nerve cells is interrupted in some way by the presence of this gene. We just don't have those answers.
