I have a young (late '06) male sunglow. He has been great.....until recently. He is turning his head sideways. It looks like as if he had a stroke. He now keeps his head sideways when moving and seems "spastic". He is still eating and can "right" himself if turned upside down. He seems alert but is having trouble guiding himself around due to his head not being straight. IBD ? Crypto? Doesn't look like either. I've tried to read and find out whats going on with this...but have not been able to.

I just noticed that a baby albino burm is just starting to act the same way......I know I have a serious problem....Can anyone identify this for me??? Has anyone else had this before?

I will be bringing them to a local vet. But they don't really deal with snakes that often. I do not want these animals to suffer....but I do not want anymore animals to get infected. Yes....they are isolated now and I am using extreme caution when cleaning, feeding, etc.
