Ugh, Yellow Dude does this about once a month, and it scares the daylights out of me every dang time!
Back to the OP's question, yes all spiders seem to have some degree of motor impairment that comes with being a spider. Some express it as wobbling of the head, some spin in corkscrews, and some just tilt their heads to the side. I have 3 spider combos in my collection at the moment, and have managed to hit all three variations. My big male Yellow Dude corkscrews like crazy when he smells rats, but as soon as you drop one in the tub he immediately flattens out and nails it, I've never seen him miss. I also have two of his daughters that got the spider gene, one has a mild wobble like she's slightly drunk, and the other just has a sideways head tilt (most obvious when she's preparing to strike at my hand the little weasel). My point is that the expression of the neurological issue varies in each individual, corkscrewers can produce wobblers and vice versa.
