In my observations I also believe it to be an equilibrium problem, as it seems that these animals have a hard time determining which way is up. I have seen them lying with their heads upside down, striking prey inverted and corkscrewing their necks backward in a loop.

Anyway I would like to hear from anyone who has seen this trait in balls other than spiders.

YES.....I'm the only one that would agree with this I'm betting......but I hatched a Caramel Albino male last year that does the corkscrewing thing. I need to video and post it soon but finding the time to do so is very hard. On an odd note, that same animal is full of energy so I'm keeping him to see whats going on.

my bee doesnt corkscrew or wobble like i have seen with alot of spiders, but the snake is very flighty and also when its very excited it does get a little shake especially when feeding time. it also does it if it thinks its escaping its tub

I avoided the spider for years but I ended up getting a really good deal for a male last year and he has none of the so called problems people talk about. I'll find out next year if his offspring will. Kinda glad I waited because I almost spent 800$ for one two years ago at one of the shows, but ended up getting alot cheaper than that. Even he he did do the wobble I'd never sell him, hes a great addition to the family and he is a pet before a breeder.
