Have you used any chemicals around them lately or ever?
If you hold the boa by the end of the tail and let it hang free
will it right itself and attempt to climb straight up its self ?
Did you acquire this animal at a Herp Show ? have you contacted the breeder ?
Animals can be born with neurological issues and they can have those issues induced by trauma as well as chemical poisoning and contagious/infectious disease exposure,but that python thing kinda puts into a much more confined context.
Sadly neurological issues are not reversible(they dont heal and get better)its a permanent and fatal condition.
Their known as "spinners"
If it is IBD the python will deteriorate very quickly

My Condolences,(hope Im wrong though)
