ahh- the pogo.....round about that sort of time there were a lot of basement parties among my friends- lunacy in cellars... one bloke concussed himself because he forgot he was in a cellar and got a little too enthusiastic...

hehe

and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

Funny question maybe,but have you handled her in darker conditions to see if theres a difference? I've seen this kind of movement sometimes when bringing a snake from darkness into bright light as if they are adjusting to it or something.

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..

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! :)
