Is this behavior strange to you? Someone tell me what's going on with this guy.

maybe he is looking for food? maybe what you are giving him isn't what he wants? lol

He acts stressed and uncomfortable. As if his head and neck are irritated.

Maybe the video doesn't do justice, but I really don't understand why everyone seems to be suggesting that I just got my first BP last week. I have had this snake for 8 years and I know his behavior. 8 years is a lot of data guys, and I'm telling you something is off with him. I don't know what more to say, but I think I've been on this forum long enough that I shouldn't come off as someone who would just panic every day.

No one is suggesting anything. Obviously you know your snake better than anyone else, but (in a vacuum) the video you posted doesn't look like there's anything going on with Bryan at all. I'm sure the reason you're getting defensive is because you're worried about your baby - that in itself speaks volumes about the care you give to your animals. Of course keep an eye on him and keep us posted, but from what we can tell from the video this all seems like normal BP behavior.

Yeah I don't mean to get angry. But yes I am very worried because this is my favorite snake in the collection. I just thought that if he is trying to get sick, and I pick it up early, I might have a better chance of helping him. I've had this one a long time, it's like worrying about a family member.

I'd suggest getting a vet or reptile specialist to check him out if you do believe he has an internal problem, otherwise, we cannot help you any further without seeing him in person. :)

If he still looks questionable Monday I will definitely be talking to the vet. Luckily there is an experienced reptile vet nearby.

Maybe you should read the responses again. Not one eludes to you just getting your snake. Don't get mad at us because we don't see a problem in the video.

I'm sorry that you think something may be wrong but your asking people who have never been around your snake. You asked for opinions and that's what you got. If you really think something is wrong your only option is to see a vet.

Getting bent out of shape may keep people from giving you their opinions in the future.

Yes he and I had similarities in our post and some differences. Thanks for noticing. I see you picked up on the advise I gave you. I won't do it anymore.
