My ball python Maxwell has done this several times, I have only had him for a couple of weeks now and hes done it about 5 or 6 times, he will go into this posture where he goes up into a position like a cobra would, i havent been able to get a picture of him doing it so i drew one on MS paint.. sorry my artwork sucks but it shows exactly what he does.. i will attach it here. anyways he will just sit there like that with his neck stretched out going completely upwards and then his head facing directly forward, just like the pic i drew shows. he sits like that for minutes on end. i wasnt thinking anything of it and then i read this article a few minutes ago about IBD and it said something about sitting for lengths of time with their head in weird positions called "stargazing" and im FREAKING out now because i would absolutely die if my little Maxwell has IBD. is this something i should worry about? or is this just something ball pythons will do?? this is my first snake so i really dont know. please let me know your opinion. thanks.
