What you're describing doesn't sound like Spider-complex wobble to me, though, which is the only 'wobbling' behavior I'm personally familiar with. Honestly, it sounds more like some kind of airborne irritant, such as chemical fumes, just in my own inexperienced response to the description of her behavior.
I don’t think it’s head wobble because she doesn’t do it any other time and has no problem keeping her head erect and perfectly still when she sees something that interests her. She can be a bit clumsy sometimes but I just assumed that it’s because she’s so young and hasn’t really figured out how to used her body completely yet. I don’t know what airborne irritants she could be smelling because the sealant cured for over a week and I cleaned it thoroughly and then cleaned it again with just water in order to make sure there was no abrasive chemicals or smells in there for her. The only thing that’s new to her in that enclosure aside from the enclosure itself is the heat panel and the substrate. Everything else came from her tub after it was cleaned, rinsed, and dried. Do you think it might be the substrate?
