Sorry, posted a response and didn't finish it...



I say IBD (Inclusion Body Disease), this virus that can be carried for years by the snake before showing (a bit like AIDS for humans) typically involves neurological disfonctions... Some of the visible symptoms are difficulty to righting himself when the snake is on it's back, asymetrical dilatation of the pupils, paralysis and regurgitation...



It's a very serious illness that can get a hole collection infected if there's no proper isolation... usually, if IBD there is, euthanisia is suggested
