If he is struggling to right himself that is a massive sign that something is seriously wrong with him unless you are holding him upside down for a bit before letting go, if I remember right they can go into an almost trance like state when upside down but most wont allow you to turn them upside down without a fight.
I would suggest taking your snake to a specialist reptile vet as soon as is possible, I've only seen this once in a huge Boa and it had a RI that had it on its last legs after been kept too cold for a long time. |
