    'Spinning/wobble' Spider Ball Python
    I know its pretty common for most if not all spiders to have a slight wobble either while feeding or just lounging about. My 2010 baby male has a horrible wobble at times. When he gets excited (around feeding time) his head looks like one of those 'crazy dazy' water sprinklers. I feared at first he had ibd but I've never experienced it in my other 15 snakes. I had him in the quarentine room for 3 weeks and he continues to head weave about. I checked all his tempratures as well as humidity. He has 3 hides and 2 water dishes as well as nice soft bedding. He's eating well...it just well...looks weird.

    its normal, i wouldnt worry about it being IBD cuz it is usually deadly in pythons and if hes eating and growing fine he prolly isnt sick.

    As long as your snake is eating well then I wouldnt be concerned.
    It is known that spider wobbles can really show bad sometimes during eating.
    Ive seen some pretty bad ones. It just comes with the territory of owning a spider. Some have minute/barely noticeable wobbles and other have crazy scary ones.
    Im sure the little one will be quite fine :]

    Oh gosh this little guy is terrible his head flings around and he twitches at some times its just a little scary since he's so small when he gets going it looks like his head might just fall off from some of the odd angles he moves himself in. I've only seen acrobatics like that from a ferret.

    Both my baby bees look like the most uncoordinated buggers when they eat. Its actually kinda cute. Other times its semi noticeable. Wouldn't worry about it too much.
