Royal python head shaking
Hello, my royal python is acting weird. When she extends her neck her head shakes like those old people with that illness. Like she cant help it. It bobs side to side, anyone know what this is and if its going to effect her health

some spiders do this, although i have a male who never has and i have heard of a few more who's spiders dont. it can go from being hardly noticable to really pitiful to see. this may not be the same thing though. and if you are sure she isnt het for anything it wont be. is she acting normally rest of time, when do you normally see it, ie feeding?

That question was asked because genetically it appears some/ a lot, of Spiders have this trait and 'head wobble at times' It does not affect their health at all.
Not sure about yours though. has it just started doing this or has it been present since you had her?

i have heard of snakes do this, but only at feeding time when they are eyeing up the food item and gauging distance before a strike. its more a move from side to side then strike sort of thing. once they have eaten they dont do it again till maybe next feed.
