I've been waiting two years to get a female spider and my dad surprised me and paid for this girl as my graduation present! She is from J&J Reptiles and is perfect. So here are some photos of her right out of the shipping box! ;D

She is from a non wobbling bumble bee male ph ghost. So far she has no wobbling symptoms :thumbsup:

Congratulations on graduating and the beautiful girl! Please excuse my ignorance, but what's wobbling or wobbling symptoms?

Wobbling and spinning are two traits often found in the spider morph (although there are animals of any morph that probably do it). It is considered a neurological problem that affects motor control and behavior. It can be shown in trembling, stargazing, wierd tilting of the head, or sometimes just a little tick the animal has when moving.

Here is a vid of a spinner (spider pinstripe) freaking out and spinning-

The boy above, I've been told, only does this when with a female for breeding. I've heard breeding is a common trigger for it.

It can be very mild to nonperceptable or it can be very severe. If you do a search here and on google you can find plenty of conversations/information about it.



Thanks for the comments, I'm in love with her! I can't wait for the day I'll get to breed my own bumble bees!
 
Thanks for the explanation. I'm new to ball pythons so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I purchase one. Thanks again! I'll definetly google as much as possible.:)
