However i come home dtoay and i notice the lock off the tank and the stuff has been moved around inside, so I immediatly went to my dad and interigated him for answers , he was shocked that i could tell things had been moved. After a while he said, my little sister had come 2 him and said whats the snake doing on the floor and it was in a ball. Now this is the thing, the cage was shut and my dad had been walking in and out of the room and the snake was in his path and to be fair my dad isnt the most observant person so if the snake was in a ball is it likely the it would have been struck by him or my sister? I'm so upset! my mum said she has held it since and she cant feel anything irregular but still i am so gutted! Is this likely to prevent him from feeding longer or all together?
Yep...I would say he is really stressed now. You need to keep an eye on him for a next few days. Watch for funny movements, kinks or bumps and and for anything protruding out (like a rib). I recommend you don't touch him till he eats. He will pry skip this week (but try anyway) then try each week. If he still isn't eating in say another 3-4 weeks let us know and we can give some ideas for other things to try.

At this point assume you are starting over with getting him comfortable...and by all means get a lock on the cage.
