Erratic snakes movement !! HELP!!

[austinnoel]

I just recieved a adult female BP yesterday that I ordered offline. She is moving very erratically she doubles up over her self almost tieing herself in a knot. She is flipping the bottom half of her body belly up. Is this "star gazing" if so is it fatal or can it be cured easily. Thanks for any input.

I would see a vet IMMEDIATELY sounds like IBD to me, but I COULD be wrong. I would also contact the breeder. How was she shipped, was she cold when you got her, she may have sustained damage in shipping, was the box properly marked?

I have only noticed SOME erratic movement when my two bp's are touching/experiencing eachother, and it is only a short behavioral thing.

Sounds like a snake being a snake to me. BUT if you've got a couple hundred bucks to waste at a vet, it's your cash.......
