    BP falls off of branch
    I have one of those branches made of thick grapevine in my BP's tank. He likes to climb up onto it... and fall off. I've watched him fall off multiple times and he doesn't seem hurt and usually gets right back up on the branch. He falls at most 6 inches down off the branch onto his aspen substrate. He's young and I can't imagine he'd it the ground hard, as he weighs next to nothing. Could he eventually hurt himself falling off? Should I take his branch out?

    last night my hog island who was out getting a LOT of attention... as we had guests over and they were fauning over his beauty... well he went back into his enclosure and he was climbing up his driftwood and dumping it over with a thump and then climbing up the other side and thumping it down LOL - little bum... he didn't want me to get any sleep for putting him back into his enclosure LOL

    Maybe he's started his news years eve celebration early? :carouse::carouse:
    I guess what I'd probably do is just rearrange his cage furniture and see if he continues falling down. Most likely he'll stop being so active when he gets bigger, older and heavier (worked for me anyway) ;)

    I don't think it would hurt him that much. If it does im sure he will stop.

    He couyld get internal injury; I would remove it. BPs are not snakes that need climbing branches.
