    Head Wobble?

    I just fed my normal about an hour ago and when I went to check on him just now I notice he had his head raised and it was somewhat wobbling. Should I be worried?

    Re: Head Wobble?

    I doubt that it was a true "wobble". A lot of times when a snake raises their head they will have a side to side movement that is attributable to muscular tension from the movement of extending. I would just keep an eye on it though. Don't worry.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Head wobble is usually very distinct. I had an old spider BP who had a vicious wobble. It seriously looks like someone that has Parkinson's disease.

    That's extremely common for a spider but not a normal.

    Right. Im just saying that a head wobble is super easy to recognize. Not likely that it is happening to this normal.
