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

    Bryan just started acting like this a couple of days ago. He acts uncomfortable, as if his upper body/neck is irritated and he just can't get situated right. It's a little subtle, but I've had this guy for 8 years, and I know him. This is not his normal self and I'm hoping there's nothing wrong, but take a look at this video and tell me if this is peculiar to you.

    looks completely normal to me..? just wandering around inspecting his surrounding. this is how my girl acts, mostly at nights I wonder if its because they don't feel threatened enough to hide? or they are just more active at nights.

    Could you be dealing with something like a pinched nerve? Those can happen pretty suddenly, and don't last forever (speaking from experience in non-reptilian animals; never seen it in a snake before).

    OK well I hope everything is ok. Like I said I've had him 8 years so I do know it's out of the ordinary for him to be so twitchy. I guess I'll just stay alert with him and monitor. Maybe I'm just over-protective because this guy is my original and I'm particularly attached to him. Honestly I get pretty anxious at the mere thought of anything being wrong with this one.

    Where in the video does he appear "so twitchy" to you? The video looks normal. I doesn't seem like he is being twitchy at all in the video. Doesn't seem like you have anything to worry about from the video. Except for maybe that hand creepily reaching for him at the half way mark

    OK hopefully it's fine. I'll take your word for it. Maybe he's just extra excited the last couple of days. He was resting normally in his hide this morning neatly coiled up and not hanging halfway out or in an awkward position so that's a step more toward his usual self. I might also mention he has refused the last two meals I've offered him. I'd like to see him calm down and take some rats as he's naturally a skinny guy to begin with. But maybe I'm just being paranoid. I would be fine with that news. I'll just give him some time to rest and see what he's like in a few days. I'm just saying I know how he normally moves and acts because I have a long history of interacting with him.
