    Just wondering

    Well my snake seems clumsy, he climbs anything i've learned, even the therometers i have on the side of his tank. (Once found one stuck to him someone he climbed it, it fell off that was a fun situation >,<) Can they hurt themself he falls sometimes and i just wonder if thats normal.

    Mine climbs over just about anything, especially at night when she's active. And I wouldn't worry a whole lot about them hurting themselves, they're just exploring

    Totally normal. They're just checking everything out. they can't really hurt themselves from that distance. Do you have hides for him or her?

    Falling is pretty normal for a ground snake that is allowed to climb

    With no hands or legs, I'd fall a lot too!

    Re: Just wondering

    Like they said it should be fine, trust me Perry has climbed up things and reached for another object in her tank and she took a tumble. I looked like a crazy newborn's mother, i ran over to her tank and was totally freaking out. When i held her up to make sure she was okay she simply reached out and licked me on the nose, talk about a cute moment. It was like she was saying, "It's okay Mommy, I got this." So yes your BP should be fine, they're resiliant to say the least lol.
