Hey, great looking BPs!

How does the wobble effect the spiders on a day to day basis? Is it mainly only an issue when they're feeding?

 

[prettyinpink]

I don't know much about balls, what's the wobble?

 

[Retribution Reptiles]

that second male is huge!!! very nice...

 

[Roaming Reptiles]

Well from what I can tell its not something that stress brings. It doesnt affect feeding. He eats perfect.

that second male is huge!!! very nice...

Yeah he is a hand full! He is really laid back. He does wobble but nothing to worry about.

It's similar to enigma syndrome, as far as I can tell. The spider morph is the only(as far as I know) one to have it, much like enigmas.

Check this out, it has a little bit more info on the subject.

Right now he is between 1500 and 1600 grams and growing fast.

Great pics! I'm a huge spider fan, I think everything looks better as a "bee" lol.

For those of you who asked, All spiders wobble. It generally doesn't affect the quality of life except in severe cases. Sometimes it's very very subtle, sometimes it's obvious. It seems to show up most often when feeding, breeding, etc, in times of extreme stimulation or stress. Some spiders seem to have some trouble righting themselves when turned upside down. Unlike the enigma problem, it doesn't seem to inhibit the snake at all. Spiders are generally some of the best feeding and breeding ball morphs. It's something that just comes along with the gene. Personally, it doesn't bother me unless it's an extreme snake that's tying itself in knots like a rollercoaster.

End thread jacking. haha.

I love spider combos what are you planning on breeding that big guy to?
