Albino Wobble?
I've noticed the last few times I've fed my albino bp, she sort of does a slight shake just before striking... She never misses her target, but I do see a shake. I ignored it the first time, but she's done it the last few times (maybe she did it before and I didn't notice, I don't know for sure??).
I thought maybe this was normal striking behavior, so I looked on youtube for a bunch of feeding videos to see how other BPs move. The normals, mojaves, pastels, etc seemed to be pretty steady, which got me worried. Then I searched just for albinos, and in the two clear videos I found, the snakes had the same sort of shake!? I thought wobbling was mostly a spider thing, and seeing it in two albinos just on youtube, while not impossible because I know other morphs have rarely been seen with the wobble (even normals), would be unlikely. Perhaps I was just missing it in the other videos?
Here is an example of what I mean.
YouTube - Female Albino Ball Python eating
Especially around 45-58 seconds into the video. Is that a wobble or typical pre-striking posture? I don't feed live, but my bp does the same sort of moves to the f/t rats.
