    It's hard to tell, to be honest. It could simply be that the snake isn't yet strong. If it is a wobble, its barely noticeable. What I did notice, though, is that the food you're offering is too small.

    Thank you so much for the answers! In fact she is getting two of those every week (3g each). Do you think I should give bigger prey (or more of them?). I really appreciate help.

    Bigger Prey....should be just a tad bit bigger than the largest part of her body.

    You should really be shooting for 10-15% of their body weight. When they're <500 grams, which I'm sure yours is, they can eat this size food item every 4 days without any problem.

    If your snake only weighs 100 grams, the math works out to an average of 17.5-26 grams per week. You've been feeding her 6 grams per week. Yes - much bigger prey!

    Looks like a little wobble, about identical to my Spider. Also have to agree with the others on the food size, she is easily ready for weanlings to small mice already. Do you have a weight on her yet?

    Yep... She is 47g so I expected 6g should be good but according to your advice I gave her yesterday two bigger pieces in total of 12g. She handled both without any problems. I was afraid to not over feed her.

    Instead of a single big meal like that, I recommend feeding her a 5-8 gram meal every 4 days. Other than that, you're good!
