    Normal with a head wobble?

    I have a normal that is clearly not a spider but has a slight head wobble. The side to side shake like she is constantly telling me no. Is the wobble more common than just spiders or do I have a bunk normal? Should I be worried? She's my best eater, very healthy, no other sign that anything may be wrong, she just likes to tell me no.

    Put up a pic. Where did you get the snake from? Do you know who the parents were?

    Re: Normal with a head wobble?

    It is not normal for a normal to get a wobble.

    The spider wobble is tied to just spiders and spider morphs.
    When normals or other morphs that don't typically get a wobble have one, it means its probably an incubation or temperature error that caused a neurological issue. For example, a high temperature spike can cause neuro issues.

    If the head shaking is new, could be dehydration. But since you say she eats well, I kind of doubt this.

    If she's eating and healthy, then I wouldn't worry about it. I have a pin that wobbles slightly and is one of my best eaters as well.
    His slight wobble(barely noticeable) is incubation related.

    We got her from the pound so she doesn't have any history with her except that a maid found her cuddled on a pillow when she went to clean a hotel room. The shaking has been there since we got her. At first I thought it was because I was shakey but then after trying a few things out, I realized it was her not me.

    could be neurological from being over heated.
