    Mojave with wobble?

    Im getting a female mojave that weighs 119 grams and was told she wobbles just like a spider. Has amyone on here ever heard of this because its a deffinite first for me. I have no plans of breeding her, im only buying her so shes off the market and I know for sure she wont be bred.

    I've never heard of mojaves having a wobble. Could it be due to a chemical or over heating neurological damage?

    This ^^ is most likely why se has a wobble. Over heats can produce wobbles or neuro issues that may never go away.

    It's always possible that other morphs could have individuals with a wobble. But if it's a morph other than a spider, my first suspect would be neurological damage.

    Even I agree with this one! I would stray from it.. if anything but a spider morph has the wobble I myself wouldn't chance buying it.

    Agreed, could possibly have IDB also. I wouldn't chance it. If it does and your snakes get it, your snakes have to be put down.

    Possibilities:

    Damage in the egg caused a neurological condition (temp spike during incubation).
    Overheating caused a neurological condition
    Genetic defect
    IBD or other virus that affects the nervous system.

    If the snake is reported to have had this condition from hatching, and you're buying it from the breeder, it's not very likely to be the result of a disease. If the origins are unknown, be very wary. Quarantine for 12 months.

    If this is a hatchling that is eating on its own and doing everything normal despite the wobble, then its a defect it acquired during incubation or heat spike in rack.

    99% of snakes that exhibit traits of IBD wont eat and usually cant control their bowls. If this lil guy is eating and pooping your fine.
