My source is me. Where I work I have had to assisted feed some spiders that had sever head wobble, to the point that they could not control the head and neck to eat. It has happened many times.

Of course it is. Don't worry the next paragraph isnt for you. It's for general information. Saying that, if your spiders are thusly affected maybe you should (ethically) stop making them.

In MY opinion. The problems associated with wobbles and such get worse when you're not cross breeding. The wobble will always be there but if you aren't adding any new blood its going to get worse. It's all about genetic variability. Really bad wobbles and things like pied infertility (desert is completely different) can 'be alleviated by adding to the "gene pool"
