This is normal posture. At worst, you need to address a caging problem and he's wondering how to get out through the vent.

Star-gazing will see a boa that is unable to hold it's balance. It's not a static position, because the head continues to twist up and over, like it's doing a backwards/sideways summersault. The boa will be obviously mentally ill. (caused by encephalitis associated with IBD, toxicosis, or septicemia usually.)
