Um, goldenburm??? Need a valium??? Calm down... I just moved into my apartment the 'bed' I'm referring to is a double high blow up mattress... I was just using that as an example. The fall that I'm really worried about is when he climbs to the top of his tank and falls down. Like dizziedoll said, my point is that it does seem like he does it on purpose. And I've just never seen him be awake and active constantly like he was yesterday- he was definitely going through some things Oh, he is a sub-adult. Oh and if you think me letting him slide down the side of a plastic bed is animal abuse, let me tell you how he is alive right now. The person we rescued him from had him and another snake. He put them both in one tank with two live mice and said "Whoever doesn't eat dies." As you've heard, Hissler is always very hungry so he ate both mice... and his brother got chopped in half and was left in the tank with Hissler for a few hours. He probably needs snake therapy after that...
