    Pastel YellowBelly Head wobble?

    Hey! Is it normal for a pastel yellowbelly to have a slight head wobble? It usually seems more prevalent if he's a little bit stressed, and also especially after he's swallowed (like he's trying to shake the mouse down)

    Not really

    Hello there! No, it is not normal, maybe it's not a head wobble as in the spider gene, it may happen that the snake shakes its head up pand down, mine do it every once in a while.
    The movement that she does is called "peristaltic movement" that helps the snake to ingest the mouse and go down smothier.

    Sometimes my Pastel YB will look strait up and fall backwards when she is doing her nightly roam around her enclosure. Wouldn't call it a head wobble though.
