    It depends on how he fell, he could be injured, he could be fine. Since none of us were there to see, it would be up to you to decide if he could be injured.
    2-3 feet is not a lot of distance, if it wasn't onto any hard edges.

    He fell on my carpet. He was wrapped around my computer chair arm like he usually is and just slipped I guess.

    BP's are not arboreal, always make sure to spot your snake if they are climbing on anything. Mine try to climb up everything and would fall constantly if I didn't have a hand underneath them to catch them.

    If he fell onto carpet, I wouldn't worry too much. You could feel along his body see if anything feels out of the ordinary. If he starts acting different or has trouble moving, I would see a vet.
