as above it is common with spider morphs and is a nuerological problem. all spiders suffer from this, to different degrees. some have a very noticable wobble of the head others you can barely notice at all. the extent of what other issues this causes is really un clear. no one is sure if it is something that causes them pain or discomfort.

I have a spider who only wobbles his head, more of a vibration really, when he is about to strike at his food, as spor said above it varies in each animal to all intents and purposes though mine seems very happy and his only issue is one of anxiety but he does settle when handled.

does it affect spider related morphs such as bumblebees or any other morph that involves spiders?

Yes, if the Spider gene is present then so will the wobble be.
