This absolutely is not how the spider morph came about.
The spider morph is a result of many cross/in breedings and pricing out various combinations. The sheer amount of messing around with the genetics to arrive at the spider gene is what's caused it to be defective and to have the head wobble.
The spider gene absolutely was not a first generation cross between a captive bred ball (of any genetic make up) to a wild caught snake.
