    No. What are your temps in the enclosure? Describe the setup and provide pics if you can. :gj:

    sounds to me like its to hot or to cold, also heard a mite problem can drive them crazy and cause issues similar, unless its contracted IBD from some other snake like a boa

    He's always been like it since he hatched, every now and then has a weird few mins. Temps are fine, same as all the other hatchlings at 32. Not so much corkscrew but strange for a Snake that isn't a spider

    It is strange, but not unheard of. The wobble in spiders is a neurological disorder. It's possible to have a non-spider animal exhibit the same behaviours. Sometimes a spike in temperature during incubation can be the cause of this, and it's likely permanent. Sorry, goodluck :(

    P.S. There is always the concern that of IBD but if you've had it for a while and it's been like that since it hatched, so IBD doesn't fit the bill.

    The best thing that I can honestly say is try to take a video of this. What you're describing may be described as something different, or you may be over looking it. That would be the best way to get a correct diagnose if possible.

    Hi,

    There are also a few parasite infections that can have these symptoms.

    Might be worth getting a fecal done?
