Kevin,



Isn't that neurological damage somewhere in the genes if most spiders exhibit this type of behavior? They're brilliant animals but all in all, they are still morphs and morphs have gene(s) that differ from normal animals.



Could it be that the spider might carry a gene that affects the neurological system in the ball python? We have similar genetic defects in humans so it seems plausible to me.



Please clarify if necessary.







thanks,

Ron
