Would a ball python possibly injure itself by trying to squeeze in a narrow gap too narrow for itself? Not a hole where it cant get through and turn back to get out of but like a gap between two panes of glass, where he still can turn around and get out of.
My young ball LOVES to squeeze itself into any small gap it can find, and I have this new enclosure I made. Sliding glass doors for the entire front (top to bottom), and a short pane right behind it to hold the substrate in. But he keeps trying to squeeze himself into the gap between the outer door and this piece. And he really flattens himself out quite alot it looks pretty freaky! I'm really afraid he'll injure himself doing this. But then again, they cant be that dumb to do so, can they?
Should I fill up this gap? I could silicon on some acrylic or plexiglass pieces to fill it up and remove the gap, but that means my door cant slide anymore. I'd have to remove them every time.
