So I want to know if anyone has seen this before..

The vet is not sure what it is, right now we treat it as muscle spasms with calcium and liquid food. Vet thinks he's born with it, seller said she had a snake from same breeder a year apart but they are related (I haven't gotten that confirmed) die from same thing.

So I am wondering if anyone knows anythig about this condition and if there is anything? I wonder if it is a recessive gene and since the snakes die from regurging as the spasms make them throw up (that is the guestimation) it don't reproduce that often. Just want to know if anyone else has seen it..
 
I have never seen that before. You might try contacting a veterinary school if there's one nearby and see if they have any reptile specialists that might be interested in seeing him.
 
That's a good idea thank you!! <3 Knock wood though I think he's doing better!

I spoke further with the seller, and it is not the same thing that has affected the snakes. When comparing notes they behaved very differently. Hers had more seizure like behavior while mine has muscle spasms.
