Can you help me confirm this bumblebee?
 
Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while and learning what I can, and I'm ready to get my first BP. I was planning on buying everything brand new, and I was planning on buying from a breeder I found through BP.net.
But then this little puppy popped up on craigslist, and he comes with a thermostat gauge, temp gauge, UTH, a couple rock hides and even a glass tank (although I plan to switch to plastic) - all for 150$.
I've been researching a lot of different morphs, but I haven't really looked into bumblebees, and while I don't want to doubt the seller (who seems very honest and nice), or seem stupid for asking what's probably a very obvious thing, but I don't quite trust myself enough yet to say for sure, "Yes, this is a bumblebee!" Can anyone reassure me that this is indeed what I'm getting??
(thank you)

That is a nice clean little bee. You do understand the wobble, correct?

Yes, although I read that most snakes are still able to function okay? I have no plans on breeding, I just want to keep one. Most of what I read had to do with eating, although this baby is on f/t so I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be. Is there anything else that it can complicate or cause issue to??

The only stupid question is a unasked one
I would rather a new keeper ask 1000 stupid questions of me then act like they know it all and loose a snake due to not asking
so please ask anyone and everyone you can for any information on your snake
now for the wobble, If you feed f/t alot of times the snake may miss (depending on haw bad it is) but he will get there
most spider morphs do very well with it their whole lives and it does not effect their day to day lives

My spinnerblast will occasionally miss her food- she gets wobbly when she's hungry. Just use tongs and you'll be okay.

Wobble or not even snake with wobble will sometime hit and miss so I would not be to concerned.
The majority of sipders and their combos usually show mild to moderate wobble, only those with severe wooble (those are rare) may have issues when it comes to feeding.
Nice Bee BTW

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! The BP community, from what I've seen, is really kind to those who are willing to learn and accept help. It's a very comforting thought.

Does anyone not use tongs??? I definitely don't have the backbone for that.
Also, thank you so all so much for your answers, I feel much better and confident about this.

I actually just watched a video of wobble (I'd read about it but never seen it before) and it made me really sad. But I know no matter how wobbly my child, I will love him and raise him like he's perfect. I'm glad to hear they usually get on pretty well though!! Thank you very much for your response. 
(btw I've seen a lot of your posts....I just want to tell you I think you're super neat and have a lot of good knowledge and are really cool thank you)
