Hi-
My tprs rests in a weird position- he is not fully coiled up- i have not had any colubrid b4 but my boas used to curl in a perfect circle- i got him 2 weeks ago and he is eating and is tame- thanks,
Zach

his head is to the side when he is coiled up

exactly...why so alarmed?
So it wasn't in a perfect coil?
Couldn't figure out why you were worried about how it coiled?

just keep an eye on it.
If it is eating, shedding and pooping regularily then thats definitely good.
When it moves around it's enclosure does it move normaly?
I don't really know why it would have had it's head sideways like that but at this time it doesn't sound like anything to worry about
