I have a bunch of spiders, 2 males that i originally bought a few years ago, one of them wobbled when he was younger and the other i did not notice anything when he was younger. The one that wobbled grew out of it as he got older and it is much less visable now. I breed both animals last year and this year. Last Year the one that had wobbled threw a clutch of all normal spiders, none that wobbled when they were younger, i also bred the same male to a pastel female and got a bumble bee, the Bee didnt wobble when he was younger but he is goofy when he is excited, which is the "wobbling" gene. Also in the same liter i got another normal spider with no wobble and one that did wobble when it hatched. Out of 6 female spiders all from different lines that i have bought over the past few years i have 3 that never wobbled 2 that did when younger and now it is not obvious and one that didnt when it was younger but now you can see a slight difference since she is older.

I have talked to Kevin about this situation many times and i agree wuth him it is inevitable that spiders wobble. Someone had said that they all do to some degree people just dont know what they are looking for. I agree 100% . I have pointed it out to people at shows that were selling their own offspring and didnt even pick up on it, it can be extremly slight unless you are aware of what it is, you may not ever notice it. Kevin had told me he has had the same results like i have had. Wobblers can throw wobblers or normals and so can normals. He says it just adds character and that is 100% true. My spiders that have had or still have or developed wobbles have 10 times more character then all of my other morphs.

If your Bee does wobble it is not a big deal, you can breed him and make amazing babies regardless of a wobble. Wobbles unless in extreme cases are not life threatining to the snake It just makes life more interesting ...
