I never actually put my opinion out into this, but now I think I shall.

I have a spider, as you may know, who has no wobble apparent. The wobble itself (in almost all cases) does not effect the life of the snake as well as the quality of life. Wobble spiders tend to eat fine, drink fine, live fine, and breed fine. If there was a severe issue with the life of a spider that wobbled, I would personally have more problems with it then I do.

However, caramels I do not feel the same about. Because the caramel kink can affect the quality of life and could be painful or a reason for the animal to be put to sleep, I will avoid caramels in my breeding plans.

I agree with WingedWolf that this might not be a neurological problem, but an inner ear problem. If it was, would everyone still have the same opinions? :]

I like this statement. When a breeder is asked, I think this should stay true. I noticed this very strongly with Bailey and Bailey, as when I asked them if my spider had any signs of showing wobbles, their reply was better than I could've asked for.

He clearly told me, without trying to say that 'his line has no wobble' he was clear to say that there have been some wobbles produced, but generally seem to disappear.
His word held true, as my spider has no visible wobble that I have seen thus far. I think when asked about a wobble with a breeder, the breeder should be clear that there is a possibility of wobble from any line, even if his has not shown any signs of any.
