Isnt head wobble a neurologic disorder thats been popping up in some of the lines, (some sort of star-gazing which ranges from slight wobbling to the insane wobble with crazy contorting of the upper body ). if it is that then im sure its not acceptable at all. i would of thought that the lines producing that neurologic disorder would be culled.

For the hell of it i tried a pinky, now im an addict and eat at least 5 a week. Its strange but when you get used to them they taste like eggs.

EVERY spider has a head wobble.......

Some are more extreme then others....

Some you can not notice at all....some you can notice across the room without even opening the tub....

But EVERY spider wobbles...

Here is a thread that shows how bad the wobble is in some spiders. http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9716&whichpage=1 Page 8 has some really crazy pictures as well as a pic of the nicest spider I have ever seen. That link is what made me decide that I did not want to work with spiders.

I say Any continues wobble is not a good thing that’s why I don’t bye Spider Balls because the lines that has the wobbles were continuously bred for the almighty $ instead of stopping it with the ones that had already been hatched and now so many have crossed these lines that its no telling what line you are getting unless you bye from the original line holders .David of DS Reptile Rescue
