    A lot of times stress can bring on a wobble. If you are handling her every day, that could just be too stressful for her, spider or not. Have you tried backing off on the handling and letting her be to see if that helps?

    Yes I have done that. I dont handle her everyday because I know it makes it worse. I havent handled her in almost a week, and she is cruising around her tank with a noticeable wobble.

    What is her set up like? Tank size, temps, hides? Maybe something husbandry related is stressing her out?

    Our bee has a noticeable wobble. It is a little more noticeable at feeding times and he has struck and missed a few times but I learned to just keep the feeder as steady as possible and it has helped. He has more of a wobble when we first take him out. After he has been out for a little bit it's not as noticeable. It kinda adds to his charm he does this corkscrew like move with his head when he is wrapping around our hands and wrists never fails to fascinate the kids.

    What if your other pets had the wobble? Like your dog or cat? Would that still be "adorable" and "cute"?

    My pugs have a severe case of the head tilts and I find it absolutely adorable.

    Actually, I think most people would still think it's adorable. People are kind of funny like that with their pets...and their kids

    I don't think it's a big deal if he wants to replace her with something that he'd rather have, whether it be because of a wobble, gender, attitude, whatever. He hasn't had it for very long and he's discovered that it isn't what he really wanted. These things live for a really long time, I probably wouldn't keep one that I wasn't comfortable with either. It's easy to say, "You got it, you keep it!" But I can understand wanting to be 100% happy with a pet that you could potentially have for 20 years.

    Before someone pounces! I guess I assumed that he (and I also guess OP could be a she) hasn't had her long because he/she said they were unaware of the wobble. The length of time poster has had the snake wasn't actually mentioned. If it had been very long, I wouldn't think this would just be showing itself now. But I don't know that because I don't know if this is something exhibited from birth, or if it shows up over time. Basically I made an assumption based on an uneducated assumption
    Ok, shutting up now.

    I just don't want this person to feel bad about their choice, it's his/hers to make.

    Okay, if the wobble is that bad then she is not really worth much to anyone to be honest with you.
    Make sure all of her husbandry is spot on and go from there.
