Upside down !?

My new cinny spider male doesn't seem to keep his balance as well as my normal does. Both are approximately same age and size. Also noticed me cinny spider male also while holding him or when he is roaming about his tank quite often inverts his head a lot while exploring.....should I be concerned ? Also thinking because of this I'm going to name him "Flip". Thanks for reading and any responses in advance guys !! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f57eeb0ec7.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3b0b10123a.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3b0b10123a.jpg

I will post some more pics of him in sunlight tomorrow

This is known as a 'wobble' it is very common with any ball python that has the spider gene. It's a neurological condition that comes with the gene, the wobble often gets worse when they get excited like during feeding. However, it should not keep him from being a happy healthy snake. :)

He's a cute guy!

All spiders have head wobble and cork screw. Some have it bad some don't

Thanks guys. My brother has about 12 years experience with BPs and swear I got a "pastel" not a cinny spider. However he does seem to be very active and happy and I didn't know anything about the "wobble" but I appreciate the heads up. Now I can go about without having the added worry !!! Not bad for 65 bucks from the local breeder !

Looks like a Cinna Bee (Cinnamon x Spider) to me. There is a lot of variation when it comes to that mix. The wobble is a dead give away that it has spider and is not a pastel. ;)

If you goggle Spider ball python wobble you can find a ton of info.

Yep, it's a Spider thing. Won't effect quality of life or anything. I have a Killer Bee, a Spider, and a Humble Bee that are all well North of 2000g. They don't get that big if there was a problem.

Thanks Dave and yeah I've never (that I know of) seen a BP over 1500 g let alone 2000+ g.
