    Spasms are common with chemical exposure and overheated snakes. Something happened to the snake during shipment.

    That was my first thought. Although another snake was received with this one. I'd think if there was chemical exposure both would be having issues. But like I told steve the pew may have been more susceptible, closer to the heat etc.

    Poor baby, I am so sorry he is having trouble. Could it be neuro damage from overheating? I honestly don't know but I am praying he improves! Keep us updated please.

    If you can, put him in his hide (if he fits with out you having to flatten him or anything) so he feels more secure. I hope the best for the snake but honestly who knows if he can recover from something neurological, if that is indeed the case.

    It will need to see a vet no question to get blood work done. But Keep him no hotter that 88F right now.

    Neurological damage from overheating is usually permanent but seen few that have gotten better with control but never got 100% better.


    OP, if you put him on his back can he right him self up?

    It worked on my phone so everyone should be good. I have.no clue. Maybe its from overheating like someone else said. Purely a guess though. Poor lil guy. Good luck with him and keep us posted

    But if delayed in heat, sounds like an overheated snake

    If hes up righting himself no problems, then its neurological. See how hes acting in a day or two if he calms down. If its still the same or worsens then take to vet for blood work and so on.
