Hi guys its me once again I was in my local exotic pet shop today buying some rats and i was talking to a lady at the counter, I mentioned that i was after either a Spider or a pinstripe morph. I said that the i favored towards the pin because of the head wobble i have seen on spiders ( mostly on youtube ) But then she said that its quite a rare thing and not all spider royals do this? So is she talking complete #@!!% ? Haha
Reptile list.
Normal Royal python "Biggie" ( female ) Normal Royal python ( male )
All spiders and morphs made from spiders like bumblebees have head wobble, its worse in some snakes than others tho I think in most it only becomes visible at feeding time cause they get all exited and loose control lol, but then u get other where it is really severe
I have always wondered if the spiders life expectancy is affected by the head wobble cause I know in other snakes stargazing is a sign of mbd. Does anyone know if it does affect them this way or not
i wouldnt have thought so i dont really see my spider star gaze when shes getting ready to strike i can see slight wobble before she strikes (shes excited)
only prob i have and its prob just my one is if she dont get the rat on the button (rats head) she will let go and wont go to do it her self i have to dangle again :) i wouldnt swap her for the world shes nearly 1500grams as well and a cb10 (great feeder) ;)
its not only the spider gene that has the wobble, the woma gene which is very like the spider pattern also carries the head wobble. luckily this is not genetic like the spider head wobble, and is only displayed in some womas (not the NERD hidden gene woma though)
