You are not likely to find an emergency house call vet on this forum.

Its not bad for them to put their heads under.They can hold their breath for a long time.Im not sure why he would be stiff though.Maybe just freaked out.What were the temps of the water?
If its warm to you its over 98 degrees count on it.

I had a ball python years ago I put in overly warm water and she spazzed out and breathed in water.She blew some bubbles after ward but in a few days was fine.I always use a temp gun on the water now.Sometimes we learn the hard way.
