Odd head movement

I am holding a Desert Pioneer Town Rosey boa who gets to eat tomorrow so perhaps this is hungry behavior?

Re: Odd head movement

Does he do it all the time? Or is this a one time ordeal?

Re: Odd head movement

First I have noticed it. It reminds me of corn snake movement when they are thinking breeding?!

Re: Odd head movement

While i don't know anything about this type of snake, i do know that when you breed ball pythons and you combine (correct me im wrong) hidden gene woma X hidden gene woma you get jerky head flailing, its the same with a few more exotic morphs.
Again i have no idea if this is the cause, just tossing it out there.

Yea thats what i thought, ive heard the Spider Ball Python be particularly famous for head wobbles. But to the OP, i really wouldn't have any concern for it. Nice snake by the way.
