Question about my female BP doing some skydiving...
As I was removing all the tape out of my enclosure and hot-glueing the temp probe and wires down, my snake was wandering about my bed (which is about 2 feet off the ground) she then decided she wanted to go "skydiving" and fall completely onto the carpeted floor. I picked her up and exmained her and she seemed fine so I put her back on the bed while I finished. The next day she ate a small live rat (Her First!! and yes, I'm very careful about live. I wait for the strike and then open the tub to make sure she hit the head and the rat wasnt chewing on her). Anywho, I was searching along here for info and saw that a guy said a BP can be injured from a slight fall because of their weight and that made me worried. As far as I can tell shes acting normal, had no problem striking and constricting the small rat and is currently relaxing/digesting on the hot side and giving me the most pissed off look I've ever seen. Probably has something to do with me lifting her hide to check on her after that rat. So... What do you guys/girls think? Is she ok? It was just a 1.5-2 foot fall/slide onto carpet.
