I'd be somewhat concerned & it bears watching, but as Armiyana said, it might just be goofy juvenile uncertainty & the lack of practice. Let's hope so, anyway. Young BPs can be sorta clumsy at times.

I once had an adult rat snake that fainted, & only one time ever- so odd things can happen for snakes, just as they do for humans, without there being any major health issue- just a response to stress, etc. I'd also imagine that some snakes can have blood pressure issues, for example- but it's just that they're so stoic, it hasn't had much study or documentation as with humans. I hope you can get him on f/t easily- that might help. Out of curiosity, what sort of water is he drinking? If it's tap water, does your home have a water softener?

Thank you. I think so too. Looks like a leopard even if he doesn’t actually have that gene. Yea that’s what I’m hoping.

Hmm. I hadn’t considered something like a syncope episode. Their cardiovascular system is quite different from ours, so I’m not even sure if syncope would be an issue with them, but yea I’m sure no one has really studied it.

I use tap water. No water softener. Ive tested the Kh and Gh of my water before because I have fish tanks and it isn’t super hard water or anything. What makes you ask?
