About 2-3 hours ago I left for the movies, my newly acquired 4 years old ball python decided to test the limits of it's enclosure tonight again (I think it's normal since I just got her) but looks like she succeeded, when I came back and opened the door to my room, I noticed I was pushing something, I looked down and there she was. I didn't have any problems putting her back in her enclosure but when I picked her up she was kinda tense. This is my first snake so I'm not actually sure how they act when you handle them, calm or stressed, I just lack experience for now in that department. Anyway it's kind of unfortunate that this happened tonight because I was planning on feeding her for the first time tomorrow evening and now I'm afraid she'll be too stressed and she won't eat.
What do you guys think? Has this ever happened to you? Do you think this whole situation could prevent her from eating tomorrow?
Also another question, when she got out, most likely she probably fell from about 4 feet onto wooden floor, do you think she could be hurt?
It goes without saying that I will make sure this doesn't happen again.
Thank you.
