the snake I took in with neurolgical issues like winding back on itself, holding its tail rigid, won't right itself everytime. I went over all your info with my vet and he agrees it is either IBD or some other viral problem. For the safety of my other snakes we opted for a humane euthanasia. Thank you to everyone who had advice. I hated to do it but it seems like the right thing to do. Thank you again. Brenda
