Yup, apparently we do. I would call what you just described as "listing" to the side. A corkscrewing movement is just like it sounds. Head goes forward in a "twisting" type of manner, at times completely inverting it's head, or even further.

Are we talking about the same snake? The Sunglow from the OP? I know I have been. Just curious.
