lol snakes with glasses. Not to get the debate going again but a very prominant breeder stated once that almost all if not all spiders wobble at one point in their life. Most of the time the wobble goes un-noticed as it's so minor and the snakes quickly grow out of it. I will be one breeder who will tell everyone, my spider wobbled badly when I first brought him home. This never interfered with his eating. In fact he only seemed to wobble when he was "bored" with no stimulation. As soon as his tub was pulled out he acted completely normal and when food was introduced he quit wobbling too so maybe some ritalin would fix the problem, lol jk. He is now over 600g and the wobble is barely noticable and I suspect after a little more weight is put on and time passes it will deminish completely. In daytona last year, the majority of the spiders I saw, if you observed them long enough you could see minor to major twitching/wobbling. It was an interesting observation to make. It seems that alot of poeple are afraid to admit that their spiders ever wobbled or produced wobbling babies.
On a side note, he was probably the most interested snake I had in breeding but I don't think his sperm was viable as he hooked up to 4 females and none produced. He first locked up at a few grams less than 400g to a female that was over 3000g. Now if that isn't determination I don't know what is. here is a few pics of him.
