Strange snake position?

[Mrgunguy]

Hi y’all. I saw a small snake (baby?) in my garage that was in a strange, angular zig-zag pattern. What I mean to say is that his body, instead of having the usual curved S position was in a position that looked like he was broken into about ten or so pieces. When I scooped him up to set him back outside again he went rounded again and started slithering off.

What’s up with this odd position? When I first saw him I thought that a cat or dog had gotten to him, chewed him up and left him to die. I’m glad he was okay, LOL!
