Did we mention that snakes are "sneaky"?Some snakes (like these) usually cannot get down without falling, & actually falls CAN do some damage*, so they're
better to prevent when & if you can. But you can't prevent them all, either for your snake or yourself, that's just "life". (Snakes like corn snakes are so good at
climbing -partly because their scutes are "designed" for it- that they can sometimes get back down without falling. Not always though.)
*Where I used to live there was a pet store with a large boa in a huge walk-in cage...the "store mascot". The enclosure had several logs, about 6" diameter, that
were angled & installed well above the floor (4-5' as best I can recall, but may have been higher?) for the snake to climb on, which he did. One day they found the
snake had died, & the vet who did the necropsy said he had gangrenous tissue apparently from falls off the branches.Just "for what it's worth".
