    Please help quick!
    I did a search but couldn't find anything.

    I feel so stupid, I was cleaning the tank, and put the lid back on, and did all the clips (the lid has 6 clips on it) but forgot to put the huge book back up there that I use to make sure there's no way she can push her way out (the phone rang and I ran to get it).

    So she managed to squeeze out of the tank and on top, and then she fell off! It's about a 4.5 foot drop onto a wood floor.
    She didn't seem stunned, and was moving around, and when I picked her up she acted fine, but I am freaking out a little here.

    What should I do?

    You could take her to the vet if you think she may have been truly hurt. Or, you can try observing her for awhile and see if you notice anything different. Trouble with snakes (and most animals in general) is that they are not very good at showing us where the boo-boo is.


    I'm sure some of our members who are more experienced with snake anatomy might have some advice and/or information about what to look out for.

    She's okay! I can breathe a big sigh of relief now.
