Congrats! I love spiders. I got myself an '08 male about two months ago, and love him. They are such a cool morph. How's the wobble on yours?

Cool- hopefully he doesn't have wobble for you. Mine was supposed to be wobble-free but when he came he definitely has some. It's not severe, but it's just like he can't hold his head up properly. He is a bobble-head snake..lol.

I am a believer that all spiders wobble to some extent. If they don't, they will eventually.

Will someone 'school' me on the "wobble"?

Wobble is a neurological problem with the spider mutation in ball pythons. I have a bumblebee who exhibits it by just making odd movements. She won't quite right herself if she's upside down or anything. I also believe that it gets it name from the fact that at times, the head will just wobble.

My snake eats like any other snake I own and I have never had a problem due to it.

Someone else who knows more can chime in and correct anything I said. I only have experience from my snake and just from what others have told/taught to me, like Mykee.

I also only have experience from my snake, but that's how my spider is. He eats well, but his head lolls around on his neck if he's looking intently. He misses sometimes when he strikes at the food, but he always gets it in the end. He also does not quite right himself if he is upside down. If he lifts his head up, he will end up leaning it back and falling backwards. It's just weird, but he seems to get along well enough. Spiders sure are beautiful snakes, despite the wobble. I think it's rather endearing in a pathetic sort of way..lol.
