rest of the article here.Until now, no one knew why pythons and boa constrictors would sometimes tie themselves up in knots, stare into space and appear drunk.Now scientists believe the fatal condition, known as inclusion body disease (IBD), is caused by a rodent virus.

Ok, maybe not. Science is wonderful.
