Ball Python Making Funny Sound????

If someone goes into ball pythons with the intent of breeding, or even ownership, and hasn't done enough research to know about the spider wobble, I would argue that they would have to be a very irresponsible owner. Any search of 'spider ball python' almost inevitably leads to some thread or video showing the wobble.

Also, the OP stated in her very first post that she did not know if the wheezing was associated with the wobble, so she obviously knew about this issue already. If she hadn't said this I would find the statement slightly more relevant, but the only reason the wobble was even brought up was as a reason to not use the snake as a breeder...it has nothing to do with what the OP was asking, and in my opinion should not be stated as a fact.

I personally have gone back and forth with the idea of breeding spiders, and have specifically decided not to buy anything else with the spider gene in it besides what we already have...to me it seems to be a form of mental retardation. However, it has nothing to do with what the OP asked, and did not provide her with any information she was not already aware of (other than telling her not to breed it...which is kind of a ridiculous thing to say).
