Ppppfttt, if that's stargazer, half of mine have it!
As others have said, nothing to worry about! Most of mine have a little wiggle when I take them outside or in sunlight, Lister used to do it when she smelt something interesting, but she appears to have grown out of it. The squiggly tail is from the effort they're excerting, trying to give themselves a little boost you know!
Have a gander at this: http://youtu.be/B1OHzsL3m7E
Taken when Lister was about 10 months old, and she's a happy healthy 17 month old now! I think you can see Psiren doing it a little bit too.
I just put it down to a snake excited to be out, I call it a happy dance haha! :) |

It looks to me like she is clinging onto your leg and trying to push herself forwards on to your hand but her front end wont grip to your hand, so she's kind of pushing herself with her back end.. she is probably wobbling cause she's tensing up.. |

hmm perhaps but not that i can recall properly lol! i usually handle my snakes in the afternoon when i see that they are up and about! :) |

Glad it's not stargazer gene. Sorry to scare you a little. Knew others would have a better idea about it than I! Glad they cleared it up for you. |

I wouldn't bother saying anything about them co-habing as they are pro cohabbbing any age any sex.
You have to keep an open mind with rep shops. Betta aquatics have just doubled the size of there rep room and have frogs, scorpions, spiders, loads of hatchies (kept in twos) some adults (again in same sex pairs) some milks, a common boa, It seems a LOT better in there. Check it out x
yeah thats what it could be. ile just keep a close eye on her!
wheyy! im gunna go there tomorrow and have a gander! (betta aquatics that is!) always liked that shop since i was little! thanks for the help again! :D x |

this is our (loan) stargazer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDSZjSsaMg is not ideal watching but gives the idea.
