    Re: Snake twisting around/shaky, IBD?

    If there are no other issues than the twisting/shakiness is it likely to be IBD? Obviously if it is I am going to let the snake get put down, but it if is not I am highly considering adopting it. Thoughts?
    There are literally countless things that can present with neuro issues - viruses, bacterial infections, heat related issues, chemical exposure, etc. etc.

    I would not recommend adopting an animal that is showing neurological issues. I would not recommend adopting an animal where an aesthetic mutation causes a neurological issue.
