    Kink neck
    I just rescued an albino boa, about 3 years old. Seems to have a neck kink. When being held he curls his head under and to the side. Is this something that can be fixed or is it possible to live comfortably with this issue? He ate a f/t just fine.

    Here are some pics. Please let me know what you think

    I doubt it can be fixed. He's obviously comfortable with it as he's eating. Just go with it and enjoy him.

    I have a vet visit set up for tomorrow just to make sure it isn't neurological. Here are some pics of why I think it could be something more then a kink

    The vet visit can't hurt. Let us know what he says please.

    Well the vet results came back. They did not find IBD which is good. it's definitely a neurological problem. I am treating him with antibiotics and I did notice a couple mites so I took care of those right away. I've already noticed that his neck is straightening. I really hope this works, he is such a beautiful snake.

    So far he seems a tiny bit better but who knows. I'll keep posting updates when I know more :)
