i am not entirely sure why but my corn appears to be dancing in a way, but i am sure that is not the case but would be helpful if someone else has seen this behavior and could fill me in lol.

How large is the tank you have him in? Can he stretch out at all or is that all the free floor space?

her tank is 3 feet long 2 and a half feet wide and 2 and a half deep. she actually pooped a good one half hour after i took the video. i guess she is like my cat and has to do circles before doin her duty

The only time I've seen snakes doing this, is when a male is trying to mate with a female! Are you sure it's a female? Has he/she been with another snake lately? Is there another snake in the same room perhaps? My first thought is that it smells the scent of a female on himself, and he is confusing himself with a female to mate with. He even gives the little twitching motions as he goes around. Whatever the case may be, it is very interesting! Thanks for sharing the video.
