It's the spider itself that has the wobble head. It is very noticeable and does not look like a snake about to strike.

Spiders were inbred like you wouldn't belive to try and produce a super form and MANY of them now have wobble heads.

The sad part is a wobble head offspring can appear in a clutch from an animal that doesn't show the defect just as one with a wobble head can produce offspring that do not show it. You never really know.

If you see it, you'll recognize it.

IMO it is some type of neurological disorder although it hasn't been proven and a large producer of spiders who inbred the crap out of his will tell you that the wobble head is just cosmetic.
