Anyone hear ever heard of or experienced a spider ball that wobbles its head? Good, bad? No big deal?

i've had a spider that wobbled a whole lot.
and i've also had a bee that had a slight head alignment problem. lol

but non of tht matters.
both of them were over 500 grams in 8 months
great feeders
the wobble doesnt hinder them slightly

and besides there are fun to look at
unlike all those other boring morphs lol

Some do it and some don't.
Spiders are great to deal with and they eat great.

Some do, some don't.

There are also extremes to the "wobble" from really disgustingly twisted to hardly noticeable.

It's only a big deal if it disturbs you - if you are buying - ask the seller if the snake displays any wobble and to what degree.
