    spider question?
    so this morning i wake up to loud thunder and i look into my tank and theres my spider in the middle just wobbling his head back and forth and in a backward circular motion i pulled him out and he stopped doing it just started moving normal this is my 1st spider and the 1st time ive seen it do those kinda movements i know about the gen. mutation they have.. so is it something they do if their scared because of the thunder was pretty loud shook the whole house or they just like to do the wiggle dande when no 1 is looking lol

    Thats rather normal with spiders, is it a young Bp? Alot of times they grow out of it...or at least thats been my experience

    the loud thunder was probably gas, ball pythons can fart much louder than many people would believe :P

    Mine does that when he's hungry. I started feeding him twice a week and he stopped wobbling. Now he's back to once a week, and I rarely see him wobble. He'll sit there with his head propped up in the "stargazing" pose for a little while, but at least he doesn't go crazy :gj:! He's an adult now though :D

    My killerbee will still spin wildly as well (the gene affects ALL morphs with spider in it). She's being fed twice a week so I don't see her do that as often. I believe they do it when they're hungry or stressed. She's still a baby (around 200-300 grams)
