So sad!
So little bit of a rant I’ve had problems with my python eating for a while now but tonight they showed massive interest and took it after severely struggling flipping over and not able to focus on the rat properly I went back and not eaten so I’ve just reheated head and tryed again moving some things of enclosure to help again struck missed but then struck and wrapped checking again in a hour but I am furious the breeder didn’t disclose any head wobble to me at all i havnt really noticed anything severe until tonight I suspected a slight wobble but nothing to this extreme I’m so angry and also extremely sad for my snake I feel awful does anyone have any advice at all how I can help them with this wobble

Re: So sad!

Re: So sad!
He looks like an awesome pastel to me! Could it be you might think it’s a wobble. I’ve had some bp’s in the past that just had intense strike poses. They would even twitch a bit. I would say a wobble is very noticeable. In spider balls they can be upside down and act as if they are upright. I mean not all spiders but it’s a common trait. Does your pastel hang upside down or does he upright him self when you handle him?

While head wobble can be genetic (certain morphs incl. spider are known for it) it can also be a sign of illness; far better if it IS due to genetics. It would be nice (very professional) if all sellers disclosed such issues, you should always thoroughly research any morphs you're buying to make sure- again, I HOPE this is genetic, & NOT illness.

Wrestling with food will always bring out the worst if there's a wobble. Making space for them, & helping where you can is about all you can do. Did he actually get it down?
