Weird sleep posture

[Hannya]

Hi guys, i am new to ball python, and i realise my ball python sleep in this weird posture ( body normal, but head tilted 90). Should I worry about this ?

Not unless you notice stringy mucus, labored breathing, or popping. That would be an indication of a respiratory infection.

Snakes usually will not eat if they have an RI either.

Probably fine though. My BRB will do a similar thing "laying" on the wall.

I haven’t seen my snakes in that position but they’ll weirdly contort themselves sometimes. If your temps are good, he’s eating, and otherwise moving about and behaving normally, I wouldn’t be concerned. Snakes do strange things sometimes. At least they may seem strange to us.

I wouldn't worry. My BRB will sleep all spread out with his belly to the sky. Like said above, snakes do weird things at times... Weird to us.

As others have said, as long as there are no other unusual behaviours it should be fine

I once saw my BP coiled up with his head sideways like that resting in the middle of his coils. I was also worried to see him like that but he was totally fine, when I reached down to touch him he was startled awake. I think it's a normal sleeping position, maybe just one that you don't see often.
