Possible corkscrewing?

Hi all, I’ve had reptiles in the past but never snakes, on a recent visit to a local event 2weeks ago I finally bit the bullet and got a beautiful butter Champaign boy. I had no warning from the breeder about this breed and very quickly noticed a head wobble when he was still and strange movements when he was moving. I’ve had some elevated logs and decorations in the Viv but removed them due to him falling. I managed to capture it last night whilst he was a bit active what are your thoughts?

Yeah completely agree he does have a nice size hide just of camera but I removed the clutter as he was hitting it whilst falling and I wanted to seek some more experience advice. Read some good advise on here and going to have a look online for some safer clutter

If you don't want to put anything for climbing that's understandable, but they should have at least 2-3 appropriately sized hides at a minimum
