Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Bogertophis]

Just a close call with no harm done, I hope?

Normal tongue flicks and eating probably mean he’s fine.

Snakes are tough. They have to be. He won’t hold it against you either.

I imagine you feel terrible. However, stuff happens. Try not to sweat it. You can only move forward and he’s likely fine.

Please keep us posted.

You're right that I feel terrible. So, I appreciate everyone's encouraging comments. Lesson learned. Hopefully, it'll make me a better keeper.

I was surprised to see him acting normally; shocked to see him eat. To my mind, his escaping injury didn't seem possible. They really are extraordinary creatures.

Right now, he's curled up in his hide digesting. It may be a few days before I get a good chance to examine him. I'll report back then.

First time I've seen him out of a hide since he got squished. So far, so good.



Still haven't seen him moving around though. So, stay tuned.

[dakski]

Hopefully just digesting and being chill. Not uncommon a few days after eating, I imagine.

I am hopeful that by tomorrow he will be moving around.

Keep us posted, but I am guessing he's going to be just fine.

He came out for a stroll this evening.



It was the first time since the squishing. He looked good and moved well. I didn't see any signs of an injury. So, it looks like this was just another close call.

[Bogertophis]

I'm so glad he seems to be just fine.

Wiggles lookin' down right athletic, like nothin' ever happened.



I'm just so relieved.
