    Normal that wobbles? :/
    My normal BP Madison just developed this new thing after she shed two days ago...when she lifts her head up, mroe than three inches off of the ground, it shakes pretty bad.
    Another thing is when something touches her nose she does something like a spider wobble. It's very odd, almost like she's trying to scratch her nose but goes upside down to do it.
    What is this? :/ is it normal?

    Hi,

    It's really hard to say one way or another.

    Did she get all the shed off her head? It does look in the video as if she is behaving the same way they do to start removing a shed.

    But since we didn't get to see the upside down thing or the wobbling thing I don't know what more to suggest apart form keeping an eye on it.

    There are a few parasites that can cause wobble like symptoms but I think they also tend to cause stargazing. And of course overheating can cause problems similar as well.

    Have you added any new animals to your collection lately and have you double checked for temp spikes?

    I have heard of some normals doing this, but if it is just started out of the blue it could be something changing in her environment. Keep a good eye on her.

    The temps are a little cool if anything, 75-80 degrees. I have a space heater to heat the room.
    She did get all of the skin off of her head, there's none left.
    I haven't added new animals recently and she hasn't been in contact with any others--not even the ones I already have owned for months.
    Am keeping a close eye on her.
