New snake struck and then laid out on back

[Jcd5v]

Baby BPs are a bit goofy sometimes. And sometimes they just don't know any better. One of mine hatched in July is still not eating on her own and another only started eating a couple weeks ago.

At 90 grams he's eaten a few meals already. So he has done it. I think you may be stressing him out more by helicoptering. The immediate jump to IBD is not usually made when it comes to a 2 months old in a new environment. As far as the Neuro symptoms go, does he have a gene in the spider complex? Was he overheated or exposed to chemicals at some point?

Did you wiggle the mouse a bit after he coiled? Or was it maybe a bit too cool by the last strike? He may have just realized that it wasn't 'alive'.
A baby that young very little experience so he only knows a few things about food. Did you ask the breeder what he was eating? You could probably afford to wait it out another 5 days and try again with f/t or try a live of the breeder was feeding that. It's not very hard to switch them to f/t after a couple of good meals, but the stress of the move and new home may be a factor there.

Speaking of which.... What is he set up in and current temps?
Baby BPs are a bit lanky, and a lot of older BPs have a lot of chonk. So it's most likely the case here, but a couple photos of the little one wouldn't hurt to get a body condition opinion.

Sorry I should’ve included his setup. He’s in a 20 gallon with 2
identical hides. One is above the heat mat which is at 90 degrees and the other is on the cool side which tends to be about 80. Humidity 60% currently.

I’m not worried about the eating much since it’s our first try, and I tried frozen thawed just because that’s what I have, but he was on live. I’m going to get a live rat pup from a friend to feed him after a few days have passed, and do that for a little while. The laying upside down just freaked me out because like I said he looked like he had just gone limp and died almost. He does not have the spider gene. He’s a super pastel clown poss leopard.

Yea that’s how I would describe him just lanky. I wouldn’t say I’m helicoptering in the sense that I’m bothering the snake. I’ve let him be until today. I did get him out and he did right himself a few times when I put him on his back. He didn’t every time, but I think it was more of him balling up and freezing than an inability to. It was just such an odd thing to see.

I’ll just assume it was a weird baby thing unless he continues to do it.
