He hasn't come into contact with anything different. The only change to his set up was some moss I put in. I took the moss out yesterday and got him new substrate today. Has anyone heard of this before?

See if you can get it on video like someone else suggested. Might help pinpoint it. Sounds like maybe an overheat or chemical neurological thing. But it could definitely be something else...

Have you had any temperature spikes or the heating source malfunction? Heat spikes can cause neurological damage, hence the cork screwing.
I'm not saying that's the issue, but its the first thing that came to my mind when reading the problem.
But I would definitely message Skiploader. He knows his stuff.

Hi,

I'd probably keep the next fecal sample you can get and put it in a bag in the fridge before taking it to a vet for a possible parasite check.
