:I'm not sure you're getting me. I'm looking to see if this could be used to treat if not cure some neurological disorders, specifically in neonates. Maybe it can even treat "stargazing", which is always a bad sign. I think it's a sign of IBD or ERS (can't remember which)... I'm just wondering - it might be an interesting 'last chance' experiment for an otherwise doomed snake.

I agree; it would be an interesting last chance experiment for an otherwise doomed snake.
I'd never heard of dimethylglycine before this thread started. Sure, it could be used to treat neurological disorders. But only experiment will tell if it is a better treatment than a sugar pill. And I am not aware of any such experiment having been made or being planned (which is not surprising as I'm out in the boonies).
As for neurological disorders in neonates, I'd try vitamins first.
