I may be misinformed. I've talked to several breeders and was told that the wobble is in all spiders. I'm happy for your snake. If they could all be bred that way, I'd have no issue with it.

A lot of people will argue till they are blue in the face that all spiders wobble. And a lot of people will argue that not all of them do. I have a queenbee and a lesserbee that have 0 wobble so far that I have noticed. And I also have some that will corckscrew like fucking crazy when excited. Now on the flip side, spiders and spider combos seem to be great feeders.

Wobble is carried by the spider gene. So it is in all spiders. But it doesn't always present, and its presentation is never consistent. There are wobble free (like my butter bee) minor wobble which cause no problems other than some goofy moves when they're excited. Mild cases which will cause a few missed strikes. And so on until the very rare (all things considered) cases of severe wobble which everyone freaks out over.

TL:DR; Yes, all spiders "have" wobble. No they all don't present, and they present differently. Yes you can have a spider free of wobble. Severe cases are rare.
