Question
I have 4 Colombian red tail heat for albino and heat for square tails I have one who is acting funny as in stricken the air but not me and anything that crosses past it and will sway back and forth as you hold it.Can there be something wrong with it? heat is were it should be plus its on a timer with my albino stripe boa. One more for you will a sick snake eat?

Answer
Hi Stephanie.  How long has your snake been acting like that?  Sounds to me as though it might have some neurological problem.  I have never heard of a snake doing such a thing. If it continues on you might want to have it examined by a Veterinarian who specilizes in reptiles.  Also, a sick snake will not eat.  Good luck!
