A ringer is an otherwise normal snake that has a white ring around the body near the tail vent. Some ringers are partial ringers and it does not go all the way around. This is often seen in het pieds and the white rings are often bordered by the pied orange and warped pattern.

Wobble is what it sounds like. The snakes head is unsteady and wobbles. This is not harmfull to the snake.

Hope this helps,

Not entirely true. Some spiders and womas have had it so bad that they had to be put down.

That's rare though.
