BP does strange twisting movement...

[kojack8389]

if anyone has any opinions PLZ let me know i dont want kojack to be in any danger

grab him by the tail and see if he can pull his body up. be careful not to hurt him.

That is so sad...I really hope he doesn't have that...He's my first and only snake. He came from my boyfriends breeder that has a ton of them. I dont know what their living conditions were, however, I think they were pretty adequate. I always wash my hands before and after handling him too

[kojack8389]

I'm kinda nervous about doing that right now...He's moving a lot doing his usual twisting and such.

[kojack8389]

I read a little bit about the disease..he doesnt seem to have any of the other symptoms...no regurgitation.. no weight loss..he hasn't eaten in a while but I was just giving him time. And he only MOSTLY does this at night. A lot of the day he is curled in a ball in his hide

It is very likely that it is just spinning and not IBD. How long have you had him?

[kojack8389]

Since February 9th

In that case I would say you are safe from IBD unless you brought it in from handling another snake. Usually if they have IBD when you buy them, they are dead within a month or so. You have had him for almost 3 months so I wouldnt worry. As long as you dont see any other red flags, its fairly safe to assume its a bad case of wobbles/spinning/etc. Whatever you want to call it, its normal for a spider to behave like that.
