Royals can't be het for spider. Because the spider gene is a dominant gene. You only get hets from recessive genes (albinos, Pieds etc). A het is a snake that carries a recessive gene. For example a het albino is not visually albino because it's only carrying one albino gene. You would need to breed two snakes that have the albino gene for a snake to be albino.
Take a look at kelfezonds genetics video. He explains it a bit better |

The genetics experts can explain this better than me, but a royal can't be het for spider - however I've seen a bit of wobbling from my cf boy when he's coming up to his strike.
Does depend of course, as Janie says, on how much she's doing it, but it seems that all royals are capable of a slight wobble from time to time. |

My royal is normal and he wobbles his head occasionally... When he goes up like he's 'periscoping' he kinda wobbles his head from side to side. |
