This pic was taken directly above him. Although, amazing news (for me anyway lol), I went in to check him again and he has uncoiled himself and was just having a little drink of water. So so pleased he is calm and well.
Thank you for your replies and calming me down haha.

But anyway, would the pic above alarmed any of you lot if you saw your ball in this position? Or is this a fairly common trait?

Thanks again
