They wrap around hands and fingers much easier, but even then you should be holding them in a way that is obviously safe... because they do slip off what they're holding sometimes.
That makes sense. And I think she landed okay. She rolled over and started moving around right away. I'm going to check in on her again tomorrow after leaving her alone for a while to chill in her hide and feel nice and safe. She was moving normally during my initial check of her and seemed agitated but otherwise fine. But I get your point, and you're completely right. I don't usually let her wrap around my neck, and it was irresponsible of me not to be paying attention, especially with such a small animal that I know can't hold on as well as my adult BP. I feel awful, but the only thing I can do is be better about moving forward. Thanks for your advice.
