I've seen a few pythons (usually Antaresia) live good lives with these spinal distortions. Disoriented viral writhing is usually more generalised than this local and limited flattening of the spine. The fact that it ate just before this occurred is probably a good sign.

I am so glad that it is not terminally ill, I am sure the calcium will help. If it feeds, it will be happy enough. Fingers crossed that the meds do some good.
