I love my spider ball python...
BUT THERE SHOULD NOT EVER BE MORE OF HIM.
Nigel is a Mojave spider ball python, and he has a gentic defect which causes his head to wobble. In some spider morphs, the wobble can be so bad that their quality of life is deeply impacted and their lives shortened. Nigel is lucky that his wobble isn't worse, but proper husbandry, special care, and regular vet visits go a long way in managing the disorder.
I am not a resource for information on spider morphs, but I can talk about my boy, Nigel, and how the detect affects him.
He was adopted from somebody downsizing their beep collection, not purchased from a breeder or pet store. He will never, ever be bred, and I intend to care for him for the rest of his (and my) life to ensure that he is well looked after and not used for breeding more spider morphs. I don't think people should produce animals that may live miserable lives due to their genes. No lie that spiders are f*cking gorgeous, but please. Let's prioritize animal welfare over aesthetics.
