Odd behavior.

The definitive diagnosis for IBD/BOID is a postmortem brain examination; however, there are blood tests that can give a tentative diagnosis, and if a vet rules out other causes (genetics, toxin exposure, heat stroke) then it might be.

I had a gorgeous salmon hypo jungle male that exhibited stargazing after I had him for 4 months. He'd just come out of quarantine and one day couldn't move right or eat. He was doing exactly what your boa in the vid did, but all the time and severely. My herp vet diagnosed it as a genetic kidney disease through a blood test. The neurological issues were due to calcium buildup in the muscles. We tried everything we could to save him, but after a battle of 3 more months, I had to have him euthanized.

I would definitely contact Ken and also make an appointment ASAP with a qualified herp vet in your area. Be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars to sort out the issue. It cost me about $500 total in repeated visits for my boa. Another neuro issue that turned out to be an actual stroke in a retic cost me about $650 total, because I had extensive necropsy and postmortem disease testing run.
