    Tipsy BP

    Our brand new 2 month old snake was intorduced to her cage today and has been exploring, normal, i get that.

    She has also been testing her limits with height, trying to reach the roof, pushing on it to see if escape is possible, and then falling over...

    A lot...

    Shes fallen over at least three times in the last hour and i just wanted to make sure that this was normal...?

    They're clumsy creatures! Mine both did it when I first brought them home. Unless she looks like she's hurting herself, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    It's hard to balance without toes. I'm sure it'll be fine. I think we all have seen this.

    This burmse python opening a door might look a little more painful than your BP doing it-

    Also yes, it's normal! As long as he is not literally falling whole-body from high up, it's fine...

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
