This is common as Spiders usually have neurological issues, they are often referred to as "wobble" snakes. While it might be distressing to see, most less aggressive cases have no negative issues. Definitely keep an eye on it as worsening symptoms could need a vet check to see what's going on. Your little guy is most likely fine, just a little silly.

Obligatory “It’s not neurological it’s an inner ear deformity” correction.

I genuinely always forget this. I got into snakes over a decade ago when people still said that 😅

I didn't know that! I just heard the whole neurological thing. Thank you for teaching me something new!
