Python shaking

[GenuineLivid]

I've had my bp since it was born, i was told it was just an albino, but since i've had him, he always shaked and wobbled a bit, not sure why, but he still does it a year later. Im not overly concerned since it hasnt seemed to cause him any issues, i was just wondering why this might be

Sounds like you might have one with the spider gene, they're known for this; I'm sure if you post a picture of him the "morph experts" here will help you identify him.

BUMP! It would help the OP to know possible genetics in his slightly "shaking" & "wobbling" BP, links to pics are in OP's post immediately above this one.

BP morphs are out of my league, can anyone offer educated guesses as to whether his BP has spider gene that are likely to be responsible for this trait? Or???

And OP, most here seem to use Tapatalk to upload pics...and even if your BP has no spider gene, I suppose he might have some other minor neurological issue, such as can be either genetic or caused by over-heating or other injury?

Looks like a normal albino. A video of the behaviour will provide the more experienced members a better understanding of what you mean. Others factors could be the cause.

What's the ambiant heat at in his terrarium? BP's can shake if the heat is too high....

I have a spider morph and they don’t shake.... Yes they all have a wobble but from my experience it’s not noticeable most of the time. It becomes noticeable if they miss a strike or flinch their head back quick. 99% of the time my bp acts completely normally. Personally I think the whole spider thing is blown out of proportion by those that don’t own them and just watch YouTube videos. Either that or I’ve been extremely lucky in my experience or a mixture of both. Either way shaking isn’t a symptom of the gene. Also that’s not a spider. Are you sure you’re not shaking? If you’re observing this while holding him it could just be that you’re hands aren’t as steady as you think they are.

It goes between 75-80, its real cold where i live. Though i moved his enclosure and it must have just been the activity of the room i had him in, i feel a little dumb for not thinking of that lol
