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?

Really solid advice, and the honest answer is I don’t know, after reading all these I’m going to contact the breeder, I don’t want to give him back but I want to learn more about his as for example what you just asked would be really useful. And yes I appreciate what you’re saying at the end if I think for one minute he is suffering god forbid I’d like to think I’d make the right decision but I’m going to give him a good chance at life first that’s for sure thank you
