1. Firstly, How did you find this Survey (you may omit this answer if you're answering here - this one is for those who fill out the survey on my livejournal and elsewhere)

2. What is your name/nickname/tag there? Or else please leave me an email address if you're willing to share more specific information (again you may omit this if you're answering here).

6. From whom/where did you purchase your spider? If you have information about the spider's pedigree, please provide it here.
NERD, bred from a bumblebee to normal
7. If your spider is big enough to breed, have you attempted to breed it? (if you answer yes to this question, I will likely attempt to follow up with more questions for you through whatever contact info i have for you.)
not big enough yet
8. If your spider is *not* big enough to breed, do you intend to attempt breeding later? Yes, we'll be trying for bees first and then later on hopefully pewter bees

9. What do you feed your spider? (please tell me the type of food offered, its approximate size, and whether it is live/pk/ft)
Live or F/t medium mice
10. How often do you feed your spider?

11. On a scale of 1-10 rate how regularly your spider eats during the warm months. (1 being not at all and 10 being every time food is offered)
10
12. Does your spider have a noticeable head tilt (head is cocked to one side when lifted/not resting on a stable surface)? If yes, is this intermittent or constant?
None that I've noticed
13. Does your spider "wobble" (unable to hold still when head is lifted/not resting on a stable surface) If yes, is this intermittent or constant?
Somewhat, I'd call it intermittent
14. Has your spider ever displayed unusual movement behaviors such as appearing confused or panicked for no obvious reason, slithering in weird directions, flipping upside down or rolling? If yes, please describe the behavior in detail.
no
15. If you answered yes to 14, how old was your spider when it started? Approximately how much did your spider weigh in grams when it started?

16. If you answered yes to 14, on a scale of 1-10 how often does this behavior occur? 1 being it's only ever happened once, 10 being it happens constantly.

17. yes or no, have you ever had any non-spider snake (non-spider means no spiders or crosses that involve spiders) exhibit wobbling, head-tilting, or motor problems? If yes, what is the morphological background of this snake? (Please do not count cases of snakes that had this problem due to an injury or illness such as IBD. I'm looking for otherwise healthy/normally functioning snakes.)
No
18. Please briefly describe each aspect of your spider's living quarters. Please provide information about the enclosure material (glass, plastic etc), substrate material, presence of hides, and your target temps/humidity.
Divided 32 qt tub in a RBI sweaterbox rack with 1 hide and a waterdish, kept on shredded aspen. Temps are 92/75-80 and humidity tends to be around 50-60% depending on how much the heater in the room is on.

He gets handled at least once a week for cleanings and sometimes we'll take him out just to hang out
20. How many ball pythons are in your total collection (snakes you don't intend to sell)? and are you a hobbyist, breeder, or professional breeder?
6 ball pythons currently and I would call myself a hobbyist with plans to breed in the future
