Good old Hercules can take anything. Quite often, I'll put him down on a table and he will figure out that he can slide down it like a fire pole, he did it one time, released tension just a bit to soon, and landed on his head, not that hard, but on his head all the same. He just continued slithering around like he didn't even notice. Also one time he went all or nothing and just slithered off that table like there was no tomorrow. Luckily it was on carpet and he didn't seem to hurt. I kept my I on him for several weeks afterwards, but he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes when I go to take him out, he thinks I'm food and waits, all it really takes is a droplet to the nose and he knows its me. I try to handle him a couple times a week, because he is very restless. Sometimes, right after feeding him, he'll be crawling around inside his cage, (that's right I said crawling, watcha gonna do about it?) trying to get out. He is a cute little guy.
