then it is probably neurological or virus related

if you suspect this MAY be an issue, be sure to move the cage to a separate room and make sure any contact you make with your snake is minimal and that you wash the heck out of your hands afterward. Viruses have the potential to kill off an entire collection if not contained. Trust me, my old ball python is ill with I have no idea what, but it COULD be a virus so he is in strict quarantine. He is all twisty, he can't really crawl straght and he scruches his body up as he moves. He will be going straight and all the sudden throw his head around in a complete loop, and then keep going, his whole body continuing in the loop. I was told to hold him by the tail and dangle him towards the floor, if he can't raise his head that it's most likely a very serious virus. But he can lift his head, so i am not sure. Seeing as I had a miscarriage not too long ago, I can't afford all the testing required at the moment, and so I am hoping for the best. He actually seems to have improved since it started and has steadily been regaining motor control.
I really hope things imrpove for you!!!
