Pastel ball has wobble
New pastel female has full body wobble. She is extremely active, shows no signs of RI or respiratory distress. Eats fine. She just... wobbles all the time. Is this a by product of her coming from a spider parentage?

It is not from having a spider parent. The wobble is attached to/is the spider gene. So if it doesn't have the spider gene, its not a genetic wobble
If she wobbles, it's most likely a neurological issue. It could be temperature related or an incubation error.

Re: Pastel ball has wobble
Ok well the male has it as well and they both are unbalanced as they move kind of wobbling back and forth, not just the head, but the whole body does this... I haven't held them too much yet, but the male was honestly rather week in his grip..

Sounds like an incubation issue to me, if two babies from the same clutch/incubator are doing it.

What are the temps in their cages and how are you measuring them? What are you using to heat them and how are you controlling it (light, heat pad, heat tape, dimmer, thermostat etc.)?

X2 I've never heard of a BP carrying the "spider wobble" without the spider gene attached. :/ Attach a vid if you have a YouTube.

Re: Pastel ball has wobble
Do you have them on pine substrate, or the previous owner? The toxins in pine can cause permanent neurological problems.

All pine bedding is kiln dried.
Kiln dried pine is safe to use on reptiles.
My bet is that the two snakes have a wobble due to an temp spike during incubation since both of them have it.

Are you sure all pine bedding is kiln dried? Just the other day I read a thread saying someone had a different substrate, then switched to pine and there snake starting having a lot of neurological problems, I don't have any personal experience with this though becauseI would not want to risk it.
