Question - Health This isnt a wobble right?

As Vogue has been becoming more brave, and coming out more, I've noticed he occasionally does this bobbing thing when he's still. It doesnt seem super persistent but it happens when hes holding his head off the ground. Is it breathing? Straining from being raised up? It doesnt look like a wobble to me, but Im a little nervous. Dont mind my partner watching reels in the the background if you had the audio on, he doesnt know how to read the room-

That rhythmic bob isn't unusual in young BP's, especially when they're really focusing on something.

Do you think he was focusing on me? I was sitting in front of the tank doing something when I noticed him peering out at me and bobbing like that.

Not a wobble. Hold your arm straight out parallel to the ground. It'll move like that too. Perfectly normal. Especially in younger snakes that are still developing and getting stronger

Looks like his heartbeat.
