I have a 16 year old BP. Never a single health problem. About a month ago he regurgitated for the first time. I haven't attempted to feed him since. Today I noticed him doing something that has me freaked out. He appears normal, moving about then suddenly recoils as if about to strike or yanks his head and neck into a tight knot, holds it for about 5 seconds, then goes on like nothing happened. This kept happening several times every 2 minutes or so. While trying to get in touch with a vet I tried putting him in a luke warm bath which kinda seemed to help as they were fewer and far between. I held him until he went to sleep. He doesn't do it while he's sleeping. I don't think it's IBD. He doesn't have mites and is able to flip himself when upside down. Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm desperate. The vets where I live don't seem to know much about snakes. Thank you!
