Tuesday night my wife text me while I was at work to inform me that our spider ball that we have only had since January had died. He was a totally healthy snake other than the head wobble, that after some research we discovered was actually on the extreme end of the spectrum. I believe that this is the reason that he passed. He was a beautiful 400 gram specimen. Has anyone else had severe case(s) of head wobble contribute to death in spider balls? I think that with the head wobble problem being a constant in this morph, we will not be participating in anymore purchases of them. It's too hard for either of us to watch the wobble and spin and not wonder what is going on in that little mind as it bobbles and turns. I do miss him in the fact that he was beautiful, but I think he was better off in passing away. One day I will get around to posting some pictures of him for everyone to see him. He was or first ball morph, and I was proud of him.
