    My ball python fell

    My ball python fell 2-3 feet maybe because she escaped her enclosure and I keep it on a table and she either fell while climbing down my book shelve thats right next to it or fell between this little space between the wall and the table. Will she be alright? It looks like she is moving perfectly fine. But I dont know.

    Keep an eye on her. She'll probably be okay. How did the snake escape it's enclosure?

    Just keep an eye out. She should be fine. One of mine fell while escaping a while back. I just kept watch over her for a few days. They are a little tougher than we think. Try and fix the enclosure so she can't escape. I use luggage straps on each end of their apartments I call them

    Did you see her fall?

    If not, how do you know she did?

    Yea thats the thing, I dont know if it did fall. Its a possibility, yet I have no idea if she did. She could have climbed down the book shelve but I wasnt there. Thats why I'm worried.

    Re: My ball python fell

    My snake fell off the bed tonight. she fell onto a wood floor so im a little worried. usually she puts her head down and looks around and comes back up i saw her and went to grab her and she just slipped right off the bed onto the wood floor. Its a 2ft drop however a good portion of her body was already hanging down. What im worried about is if she hurt her little head or her spine. I checked her out and everything was intact for what I could see. But i dont know if there could be internal damage. I'm trying to reassure myself thinking that they must fall sometimes in the wild right so she should be okay right?
