They eventually managed to get it down after I removed things from enclosure and trying to eat it upside down I’m leaving them for abit to settle then going to put stuff I’m hoping it’s just a very very messy feeding response and no problems I’m going to see what the next feed is like and see

I don't see anything looking like spider gene, so yeah I would be more concerned about other factors as Bogertophis had mentioned.

I've had a few non wobblers get themselves confused on a strike if they missed. And some slow eaters or even weirder... When they try to eat the side of the rodent. =_=;

Without seeing the snake in person, I can't give any advice really about possible wobble. I have seen it been over exaggerated and understated before depending on situations.

I have to see him eat upside ! That’s crazy

The all round health seems fine we’ll as far as I can see weight is good normal behaviour well normal for them I’m just going to see on next feed what they are like and if they take it I might just have a snake who only likes to eat once a month but when they want to eat gets a little too excited am hoping that’s the case as this is the first time they have done this

I have had a few snakes that would "wobble" just a little bit right before striking when excited about food. It was pretty minor, but noticeable enough that I paid extra attention to them from then on. That's the only time they ever did it, no spider genes, and no other issues. So could just be excitement/anticipation/prepping to strike.

I have also seen too high of heat cause neurological issues (even when it's not hot enough to burn but hot enough to stress the animal). Check your temperatures with a heat gun (for best accuracy) and make sure all areas of the enclosures are proper temps.

I mean a while back, over at VPI they use to feed their ball pythons once a month. I don’t know if they still do but it’s not uncommon. Some breeders prefer to feed once a month. They say bp’s in the wild eat once a month if lucky.

I’m always checking temps with hun daily to make sure humidity is great too I’m hoping it’s just excitement because to be honest it has been a month since they last ate(I’ve been trying every week) this time I’m waiting ten days then if they refuse try again in another ten

I’ve heard and been told by a few people their snakes only eat once a month too so it could just be them wanting food once a month which is fine but I’m going to try after ten days and see then if not wait another ten

Every ten to 14 days works great with my Royals ( using the hairdryer method of course )

I’m definitely going to try every ten to 14
