Hi,
Straight to the point my BP head, cant say exactly wobbles, but more like shakes quite alot when swallowing a food item most of the times.
It eats just fine, digest all food items perfect and sheds (not in one piece) but at the most in 5 pieces, the whole thing. Its only "problem" was a cold she got in winter but is now supposely healed. She eats 2-4 medium size mice a week. Scared of rat pups.
Im aware head wobbles is a normal genetic malfunction in Spiders, but i doubt mine is any Het to that! plus she only does it sometimes while swallowing food items, maybe it just that she finds it hard swallowing a mouse in a certain position and im looking too much into it or could be a disease.
Could you guys enlighten me up here?
much thanks and cheers
Sheri
P.S: posting a pic of her but not sure how to do it the url type so see if it works...

I was just getting on to ask about my BP's head bobbing. He is also healthy otherwise. His head does wobble more often when he is eating. He is about 2.5 years old and I am just noticing it. Just wanted to let you know, it is apparently not uncommon.

Hi, Well my BP is almost 1.5 yrs and he shakes when he eats to and I was told by a herp vet, it was due to the constricting of the snake eating. I was told if he does it out side of eating to bring him in, but while eating it was normal. I hope this helps....
