Spider Wobble

[Naom9Anne]

Hey guys, was watching my little guy this morning in his tub and looks like he has the typical spider wobble. What peeked my interest here, as I have read up on the wobble, is that he shows no sign in handling or feeding whatsoever and seems only to slightly corkscrew when he is reaching up to the top of the tub. He has no issue in righting himself he just seems to like to do this in changing direction.

Any of you other spider owners experience this and would you say this is a usual show of a wobble? And just for fun, a pic of my little guy. He's such a lovely BP; wobble or no wobble.

My spider does the same. Its only bery slight in her when shes on her cage but once i handle her shes fine. Shes the best feeder i have and has only missed one meal in a year. I know my friends bumblebee has really bad wobble and skips meals all the time. Luckily the wobble isnt harmful to the snake.
Heres a pic of mine playing hide and seek

Ah thank you! I wasn't sure if I was experiencing a normal wobble or something else. That is an amazing photograph

Yeah sounds like yours has a very slight wobble. It just gives personality. And thanks! I love all the pictures of the snakes you have.

I need to get some more pictures of them, especially my new lesser and mojave, their settling period is killing me as I just want to get them out to play and photograph! I'm trying to behave though and not handling until at least one feed

My Spider has the same wobble. Not noticable at all during handling or feeding. In fact he's one of my best eater's. He has never missed a feed and is slaming F/T Rat's like crazy!

One time When I first got him I thought he was dead because from his head to about 4 inches down was all flipped upside down. I didn't understand what was going on until one day I watched him. What he would do was try to stretch out to reach the top of the tub and get the wobble and flip over backwards. Then he would stay like that a good couple of minutes (like he felt embarrased or something haha) then would turn back over and keep trying. He's is a character and probably one of my favorites. My wife just adores him over all my snakes.

Here is a picture of him. It's a crappy iphone pic sorry. 😞

I still haven't been able to determine whether or not mine little lady has a wobble. There are times when I think she does, but it's very slight if it is a wobble. I've read about some people being totally turned-off by the wobble (especially extreme cases), but I just think of it as good dance moves!

Here's my little girl! Growing up so fast..
