I'm scared it might be IBD Or does he have a serious case of the Wobble ?

He came to me yesterday after a 3-4 hour drive and put into a tub with heat.

I'm not sure if the spider wobble carrys onto the bee's... which i have a feeling it might, so i'm hoping it may just be a bad case of the wobble and nothing to serious.

He's in QT as well... Any insight on this subject would be great!

Thanks
The symptoms you are describing can be symptoms of several ailments.

IBD would be one of the last things I would be concerned about. For the record, I had two boas that had to be put down for IBD and they never exhibited neurological symptoms - in fact, our Vet (who doesn't get her information by searching on Google) says that the vast majority of snakes she sees with IBD never display neurological symptoms.

I have, over the years, had snakes display neurological symptoms when stressed, when overheated, when underheated, and when stricken with bacterial infections.

Neurological issues can also be associated with other viruses, with genetic issues and with exposure to certain toxins.

You mentioned he is new and that he had to endure a 4 hour car trip. This raises a couple of questions:

(1) Have you contacted the breeder or seller?
(2) What temps was he exposed to in the car
(3) Why are you handling him a day after receiving him?

Nobody on this forum can diagnose your snake. The neurological symptoms you are describing could even be attributed to the stress of the car trip and your boyfriend dangling him by the tail.

Leave him alone in a darkened cage for about a week and then start interacting with him - let him decompress. If he's still exhibiting symptoms, take him to a Vet.
