    Head Wobble
    I hope I'm posting this in the wrong thread.
    Last Night I got my ball out for about ten minutes to hold and change the water.
    When I put him back in I laid him on his log he crawled around then then cam up on his hide and just wobbled his head and I've never seen him
    do that before should i be worried:confusd:

    Is he a spider ball python?

    Or, was he stretching up at all? Its hard to say what it could be, as some peoples idea of what a head wobble is can be very different than what others think.

    As long as he isn't flailing his head around, or having issues eating etc I wouldn't be terribly concerned. Just my 2¢, hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in.

    What kinda morph is he? I know spiders and things with the spider gene can form the wobble. But no expert here just what I've been told.

    It's probably nothing. If it becomes a regular thing try and get a video of it.

    If he does indeed have a wobble, it could indicate he has neurological damage. It could be from getting too hot or prior incubation issues from being in a developing egg."
    I have a pinstripe who wobbles a little. It has gotten better over time, and it doesn't affect his feeding response or overall quality of life. He's still my best feeder and growing male.
