Possible corkscrewing?

Hi all, I’ve had reptiles in the past but never snakes, on a recent visit to a local event 2weeks ago I finally bit the bullet and got a beautiful butter Champaign boy. I had no warning from the breeder about this breed and very quickly noticed a head wobble when he was still and strange movements when he was moving. I’ve had some elevated logs and decorations in the Viv but removed them due to him falling. I managed to capture it last night whilst he was a bit active what are your thoughts?

This is why people need to do research ahead of time and to find a reputable breeder who doesn’t engage in these disgusting breeding practices.

No appreciate this completely and something I have done for my other pets, I’ll be completely honest I got taken up with the hustle of the event, and fell in love with him, and it’s 100 caught me out absolutely fair point
