    No. What are your temps in the enclosure? Describe the setup and provide pics if you can.

    sounds to me like its to hot or to cold, also heard a mite problem can drive them crazy and cause issues similar, unless its contracted IBD from some other snake like a boa

    He's always been like it since he hatched, every now and then has a weird few mins. Temps are fine, same as all the other hatchlings at 32. Not so much corkscrew but strange for a Snake that isn't a spider

    It is strange, but not unheard of. The wobble in spiders is a neurological disorder. It's possible to have a non-spider animal exhibit the same behaviours. Sometimes a spike in temperature during incubation can be the cause of this, and it's likely permanent. Sorry, goodluck

    P.S. There is always the concern that of IBD but if you've had it for a while and it's been like that since it hatched, so IBD doesn't fit the bill.

    The best thing that I can honestly say is try to take a video of this. What you're describing may be described as something different, or you may be over looking it. That would be the best way to get a correct diagnose if possible.

    Hi,

    There are also a few parasite infections that can have these symptoms.

    Might be worth getting a fecal done?
