    Is this normal?
    I was just holding my pastel male Leo, and I noticed that he has the spider head wobble. It's pretty noticeable and I was just wondering if that was weird for a pastel to do that.

    No, pastels do not have the spider wobble, are you sure that that is what it was?

    How long have you had him, and what is your set up like? How are you controlling heat? Maybe if he new and nervous, that could explain. Or if he got overheated?

    This is what I would consider a moderate wobble

    Well he has done it before, and I didn't think anything of it. Could it be a medical problem. Sorry I'm just a little concerned.

    if you can post a video, I'm skeptical that it is the spider wobble.

    Also if you could tells what the cage temperatures/humidity is, and what type of heat sources you are using.

    Pastel's don't have the spider wobble, it's linked to the spider gene, and any snake with the spider gene, like bees. Was he shipped to you by chance? If you use the wrong type of heat pack it will give off toxic chemicals that can cause the snake to have medical issues very similar to the spider wobble.
