Congrats on the new snake. She is beautiful!
I know there is a lot of concern for new owners whether or not their ball python 'wobbles'.
I think a lot of new snakes are spatially disorientated/panicked in new environments and in their confusion are often clumsy and prone to odd movements (especially when climbing up/down a foreign object).
There are a lot of videos on YouTube showing 'Spider Wobble'. I have dozens of Spider ball pythons. Below is a video of me holding my worst wobbler (outside feeding time) for comparison. You can see the left-right head shake because he is stressed.
Note: I don't antagonize him in the video because he hates handling and will definitely bite me.
