I recently built a arboreal enclosure to keep my JCP's in but I am not sure if I am happy with it. It seems as though my snakes are clumsy?? The cage is 4' high by 4'long by 2'feet deep with a shelf that runs along half of it. I worked really hard on gettng temps correct but I finally managed too, so anyways I put my pair of JCP's in it and I find they fall off the shelf fairly often, it doesn't seem to phase them and they get right back up there. Now to the question... Is a fall from approximetly 20" going to injure my snake? I have thought of putting a lip on the edge of the shelf that they would have to crawl over to get down. Should I modify the cage like this?I have added a picture of a portion of the cage for informational
purposes. TIA Chris
