I totally agree with you that they are a cool morph. I don't want to get into a big argument here but there is no way either of us know what the snakes are feeling. It could feel nothing when it is spinning, or it could be in excruciating pain. I choose not to breed them but many people do. I don't have a problem with that at all. It's up to each individual breeder. My problem is when people try to say it's just a personality trait or something similar. I think this kind of misleads new breeders just getting into BP's. I think if everyone knew exactly how bad some spiders can spin/wobble there would be a lot more people who would choose not to work with them. If it was always just a minor tick or head tilt I would probably have ten of them by now, but after seeing how bad some can be I decided they were not the morph for me. I do wonder sometimes if it was a dog or a cat instead of a snake if people would feel the same way about breeding them.
