    Keep an eye on it. It could be during feedings only or it may get worse as it gets older. It's just part of spiders

    Yeah I know I always keep an eye on him and never noticed it but last night I noticed when I went to feed he started moving his head and I literally just sighed and thought " Ah crap"

    No Worries...I found out about the 'wobble' soon after I bought my spider, and the breeder didn't even warn me. Turned out to be a good snake anyway, just with special handling needs. Now I have a bee with even worse of a neurological condition...but he eats great, is a great breeder, and is overall a great snake born in 2008. The spider still strives with it's issues.

    ive never seen a spiders wobble so im not much help, but i wanted to add that my cat has a terrible wobble (because shes super cross-eyed) and sometimes its the most hilarious thing ive ever seen, especially if you scare her (accidently, of course) it gets really bad, im laughing just writing about this

    A Spider's wobble isn't a bad thing, Spiders can live perfectly fine even with a bad case of wobbles and corkscrewing.

    I got lucky, my Spider almost never wobbles. She only does it when she gets super-excited about food.
