In slang context yes,but the whole thing is primarily extended towards animals with varying degrees and or exaggerated uncontrollable,abnormal body movements(motor skills)

Pop a fresh crate of imports that got over heated in transit and you'll have "spinners" have a temp spike from a low budget heat controller and your neo/subs flip out you find it twisted in a knot its probably gonna be a "spinner".

Use a product like Frontline* for mite eradication and one day you find it all twisted and acting goofy,if it survives ? you got it "Spinner"



This isn't intended to freak people out,its a real side of the animal trade when dealing with boids.

Ive experienced it and suffered the loss`s,I had to learn at a

cost.





Best of Luck with your animal ma'am

>>In response to post,

>> I've had a boa, I bought her as a yearling to 1 1/2 yrs old and have had her almost two years or perhaps more, I lose count... at any rate, she has always been special. She eats like a cow, keeps it down always, can right herself and moves fine... all appearances of a healthy boa... but she's always had her head on angle, she sometimes is a bit awkward, but always gets around. She's always been separate from others and allowed to do her own thing, but this wouldn't be considered a spinner would it? She hasn't changed in the time I've had her at all, no worse, no better, I figured it to be nerve damage.

>>Opinions? Thanks!
