Some only have a noticeable wobble when they eat, others have a noticeable wobble all the time. It will vary depending on the animal.

It is snake version of Parkinson's disease sort of. It is a neurological issue it can become worse over time or clear up over time. It is clearly a genetic issue related to the spider colour. Off spring that are normal looking don't ever seem to have it or pass it along.
