    I know the carpet is an unpopular choice and isn't recommended but that's what I learned to use and it's what Crowley has been used to all his life. I have a good system going where he can still get the humidity and heat he needs with just the carpet. I will move the snake into his room if that persists tomorrow.

    Snakes are so subtle & limited in their "expressions" that you have to remain vigilant, & play detective to rule things out. The more you know before you go to the
    vet, the better...& hopefully, you won't need the vet. But if it comes down to something likely medical (other things ruled out), then by all means see the vet. And
    again, ask if anything carried by your bird could possibly infect your snake...even if this time it's something else, it's something I'd still want to know for future health.
    I respect and thank everyone for their opinion, I will definitely move Crowley into his room if he keeps spazzing tomorrow. I can easily make room in there and Crowley probably wouldn't mind and then the parrot can have more space. I will definitely ask the vet about the bird possibly carrying and infecting Crowley.

    One question about him possibly being scared of the parrot, why would he spaz in his room afterwards? Just lingering fear I guess?
