Does your spider wobble?

My male spider wobbles during feeding.. but other than that hes good, but my female spider has absolutely no noticeable wobbling at all. Neither does my female bee.

My little female spider only really does it during feeding. The new spider male I picked up has a wobble as well. It is not bad, but is noticeable if your looking for it. Doesn't get any worse when feeding, with the exception of aim while striking =)

Definitely adds character !

My male barely has a wobble, and my female isn't that bad. No corkscrewing or anything, but you can definitely see her head shaking when she's startled or at feeding time.

Both of my spiders wobble. Parker only wobbles with food, Clyde will wobble a little when he is nervous. I just think it's part of owning a spider. I adore every aspect of them. When it comes to food...both are pretty voracious eaters.

My spider corkscrews. At first it kind of freaked me out because when we first got him he didn't do it that much but now when he gets excited (feeding time or right after handling). It's very interesting to watch. He misses food a lot but I have to dangle it in front of him as he wont eat the f/t rat if it's laying on the "ground". He is an amazing eater though, only misses a meal when he's deep in shed.

My male doesn't have a wobble, he does this little head tilt. But a wobble it ain't.

That's part of the wobble. Any funky ( for lack of a better word ) head movement is related to wobble.

All spiders wobble. It could be as miniscule as the head tilting just a tiny bit to severe corkscrewing but they all do wobble. I have a few spiders and have seen a lot more and every one of them wobbles. Even the combos wobble. It comes with having a spider. Some people will not have them due to the wobble but I personally think that if it doesn't inhibit the snakes ability to live then there is no real problem with it.

That statement is kind of misleading. I believe all spiders (and spider mixes) are affected by some kind of neurological thing, but to varying degrees...from almost nothing noticeable to corkscrewing. To say they all wobble is untrue. To say they all have the problem that could lead to wobbling is more accurate. And a "head tilt" is not a wobble. It's a head tilt. It is part of the problem that causes wobbling, head tilting, stargazing, corkscrewing, etc...

I have 1 male Spider and 3 females...none of them show any signs (although I know they have the problem). The second youngest did have a slight wobble but it seems to have gone away.

My 5 month old Bumblebee only shows a very slight wobble when feeding.

My 5 month old Butterbee shows a moderate wobble when it's feeding time or she's excited.

I've hatched several Spider clutches and have noticed some slight wobbling with some of the babies. Maybe 25% at most? Probably less than that as I'm just guessing.

And I don't even consider head tilting as an issue as I've seen other BP's tilt their head in a similiar manner as Spiders...I think I may have a slight head tilt myself...and it's never caused me a problem...:D

My spider male wobbles only when excited. Feeding and breeding cause his head to shake. Other than that, he is an excellent breeder (fathered 2 clutches for me this past season) and eats like a machine.

His spider offspring have wobbles too. The two spiders he produced both wobble when excited. The spinner he produced wobbles quite a bit, and is a slow starter, but I don't see the wobble being a problem.

My friend's spider female has a very slight head tilt and I saw her head shake during feeding day.
