I know that if a ball python "star gazes" it means something is wrong with him like internal parasites, but i have a question. my ball python (when hes sleeping) curls up into a coil and has his head in the middle kinda tucked in and his head is resting on one of his coils, it seems like he is slightly looking at the ceiling, i was guessing maybe because his neck is less thick than the coil he is resting on which is why his head is kinda slanted looking. Im trying to describe it as best i can, and i was just wondering is this something to worry about, he eats like a champ and his poop looks normal same with his urine (solid white mass). It doesnt look like anything is wrong. Could it be that its only that his neck is less thick then his coil he is resting on which can makes it look slanted. ANY INFO WILL GREATLY BE APPRECIATED!! THANKS!!

He is fine and nothing wrong. Don't worry. star gazing is more like the whole neck and head vertical to the sky make it looks like watch the star. If your snake rest like your avatar, it just made itself more comfortable and think why I am here.
