tilted head

HI! Kind of odd, but - my snake seems to tilt his head sometimes? Occasionally, when moving, the top inch of his body rolls a little to one side. When he is in a resting mood, and laying in my hand, he sometimes lays his head on it's side instead of chin down. Since this is a new behavior and I am new to snakes, is it okay? He is otherwise eating/shedding/acting normally. Thanks for any thoughts. Oh, and he is about 5 months old. Thanks!
 
From how you're describing it, it seems like nothing is wrong with him. You think you can get some pictures or maybe a video to help us get a better understanding what your describing? I think we might be able to help you out more if you get us a picture or a video.
 
It sounds like it could be normal behavior.
I'm not really certain what you are describing.

Is he able to move correctly, smoothly?

To load a video, you would use YouTube then post the link for us.
 
Yes very, sometimes I see him laying down with his head on it's side like human would sleep(when a human is on it's side).
 
As long as he is not jerky with his head movements, it is most likely normal behavior. Snakes are a different sort of animal.

My snake, Kanti, sometimes turns his head upside down to look up at the top of his tank. It is very strange looking. He is just really flexible and muscular.
