    Exclamation WOBBLE in my Normal(?) Bp?

    Hey all, well Naga my new addition, who I just got yesterday I THINK is a normal. But anwyays, heres a few pics of Naga & the wobble. I noticed this soon as I picked Naga up. Wasn't acting like Loki. Wouldn't pull head up to wrap around me, seemed like unable to get head to go the right way. Seems a little emaciated too. Also I'm guessing normal. What do you all think? Normal with a wobble?









    I am new to this whole thing of keeping my awesome Snake Loki & their bro Chin.

    I have herd of wobbles in snakes that come from spider clutches too. If thats the case than your only worry is if he can eat and drink properly. He's a nice normal- a real cutie and doesn't look too thin to me in those pictures. Good luck with him and keep us up to date with how he does.

    P.S. The wobble can be worse when they are stressed. It may calm down after he adjusts. Good luck

    I dont mean to scare you but Id be extremely worried about a serious disease called IBD.

    A wobble in a normal SCREAMS IBD

    Re: WOBBLE in my Normal(?) Bp?

    All the way down his body looks like it has sunken in some from being emaciated. its just the way i was holding him you cant really see it, that and the camera quality sucks. I'm hoping its not IBD if it is, well, that just freaking sucks! So glad this guy is in QT! ugh. Will let ya'll know more later. Btw he is still killing prey but hasnt ate. He did kill the mouse but didn't eat it jjust before i got him.

    Pythons that get IBD die in matter of days. Normals being clutch mates to spiders will inherit the spider gene wobble, its not possible.

    When normals act like that its usually there from incubation mishap and or heating mis hap in the rack/cage. Over heating causes neurological damage in snakes that results in some funky body movements.

    Chemical exposure can also of happened sometime during its life time as well. Mal nourishment ive yet to see it cause that but it can be a possibility but unlikely.

    I'd almost bet on it having been over heated at some point

    Re: WOBBLE in my Normal(?) Bp?

    Well, Naga is going to a friends house to be taken care of. Either tomarrow or the next day. He is more experianced with snakes & doesn't currently have any of his own. I guess we will see. I've only had Naga since Sat, so I don't know if this is normal for him/her or not. I am very worried because I have another snake in the house. I'm just hoping its because he is weak from being underfed & has a normal slight wobble that has turned severe because of being malnourished. Ugh. I wish I knew more of his/her history! Its so FRUSTRATING not knowing anything about him! ugh. Thanks for your help guys!
