    Black pastel cork screwing.
    When checking and feeding today I noticed something is seriously wrong with my black pastel. He is cork screwing very bad. I have had no new additions since januruary and all my other snakes are fine.
    I have moved him into a rack by himself...what could cause this? When I cleaned his tub on friday he seemed to be completely fine.
    Any advice would be helpful.

    Can you possible get a video? did you spray PAM by any chance? what did you use to clean his cage? if you used PAM or strong bleach mix for cleaning the fumes might have caused some nero issues.

    Two things come to mind, chemicals such as Tom mentions and over-heating, neither a very good scenario.
    Have you had any heat spikes?

    ^ I agree with above. Most likely case is neuro issues cause by those 2 scenarios.

    Temps would be my first guess BUT chemicals would do it too

    Re: Black pastel cork screwing.
    I disinfect with bleach but it is a very small amount, dilute it with water. When I checked the heat it was a little high, around 95. I lowered the temp and checked on the other 8 snakes in the same rack and they are all fine.
