    Ivory pastel wobble?
    Hi guys, my new ivory pastel is corkscrewing, do ivory pastels have spider genes or show wobble?

    I hope it's not IBD

    They do not have spider genes or any other genes known to wobble. Given how deadly it appears to be to pythons it is rare to see Ibd pop up, but obviously it does happen. A vet that specializes in reptiles might be able to diagnose something. In the meantime use strict quarantine procedure when dealing with the animal.

    Thank you, I am keeping him away from the other snakes for now. It was only a minor corkscrew so might be a one off. I will be keeping a close eye on him

    My normal girl started corkscrewing after she suffered heat stroke. Double and triple check your temps, could be neurological damage.

    Can you also rule out chemical exposure?

    My ivory pastel has no wobble, it's not genetics.

    Inclusion body disease. It's a fatal virus some snakes can catch: boas, pythons etc. There is no cure

    How long have you had it? Was it shipped or purchased locally?
