    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

spider head wobble

How does the wobble affect its normal life? Besides being shakey. They can eat, breed and lay around in a cage all day just as well as ur none wobbling morphs. And with breeding, I can see not breeding kinks and, blindness, etc. But please tell me in any way the wobble directly affects the quality and vitality of a spider, and does it determine a shorter life span, constant pain throughout its life, or what ever can be unhealthy?

You did not read what I wrote properly. Do you believe it's "normal" for a snake to head tilt, shake and corkscrew? It is not, no matter how you look at it, living a normal life if the snake is head tilting, shaking or corkscrewing. This is simply not normal behavior. You can not prove that it doesn't cause pain or otherwise effect the well-being of the snake just as much as I can not prove that it does. So why contribute to the problem?
 
Well maybe I havent seen a bad off spider, cuz from what I know its nothing that really bothered me at all. Still spiders have been bred for years and right next to the pastel they are one of the most common base morphs. I think the wobbling issue has been blown way out of proportion IMHO.
 
Yea' I would agree.sometimes people do go to far telling stories and stretching things.They might be a common morph but they are still pretty.Mine is pushing 14 months and is at 3ft or just below and I keep them all on a feeding schedule,once a week.I will still breed her to a pastel or a pied,so she's still going to stay with us no .matter how much she wobbles

I think that what's been blown out of proportion is that all Spiders wobble, that simply isn't the case. Their are plenty of people who have non-wobblers (myself included).
 
yeah I have a great awesome looking reduced spider and she is real healthy no problems at all. she did go off feed for a little in the cold months but thats more then normal and saves me money for a little...lol. My other female has real nice high white sides and very lite color with nice highlights.
 
My spider dont have white sides their orange with very few white sploches.but she is a normal spider,maybe a low end.I have thought of her being a fire but not sure.
 
We need more people to breed ones without wobbles to see if you can line breed it out or make it better in a few generations.

Exactly. That is why I'm adamant about my position on people who breed wobblers. It's aggravating the situation and not helping it.

I'm breeding a bumblebee with no noticeable wobble, it will be interesting to see how her babies turn out.
She holds her head perfect and has no shakes at all, no head tilting or any other obvious spider issues.

She's in glow just waiting for an ovy :)
