Does anyone own a spider that has been labeled as a wobbler. If so does it affect thier breeding? Thanks

well let's see, most spiders wobble. even if people say they don't, it just means they don't look hard enough to spot the behavior. Some spiders are more apparent than others but i'd say about 90% of all the spiders and spider crosses I've seen exhibit some level of wobbling/shaking/spinning. With all that said alot of the spiders grow out of it when they get size on them. However, the ones that still exhibit the trait still feed and breed extremely well and that has made this morph very productive at very early ages. We have a spider male that was producing sperm and breeding at 350g this past season. This is him a little later in the season at about 450g courting a female pastel.

what rack system do you use josh?

melamine racks built by a local cabinet shop. For the price they can't be beat. We can house our complete collection at the same expense that some can spend on just 2 racks.

Thanks for the info. This is very reassuring since I purchased the snake at a pretty good price this past July. I was awarwe of this spiders trait, but did not know to what extent it was. The wobbling has almost ceased in just the few months I've had her.By the way good luck on those bumblebees!!!!

Very nice!! Can't wait to pick up my little guy in Dec, don't think he will actually go this year but for sure next year! Love the racks, a friend is building me three sets that will hold 7 adults each, can't beat those custom made ones. I buy the wood, I wire the heat tape he just does the building, and doesn't charge much since he is retired and pretty much does it for fun.
