Suicidal Snake

CEballpythons Aug 03, 2011 10:46 PM

Just had my yearling pastel pied take a suicide dive off my 4 foot high table when my photography flash went off. He seems fine. Any chance he isn't? Is that high enough of a fall to cause internal injury???

That is really tough to hear. My thoughts are with you. Only time will tell and my fingers are crossed for the poor guy. Next photo shoot get some help. 4 hands are better than 2 when using a table.

Yea....time is it...

people don't realize how FAST ball pythons can actually move....just have one get out and take off around the room....or as this case...they just get that urge...they move pretty well...I always said they strike as fast as a rattler almost ....

good luck...nothing you can do but wait.....and watch...

Thankfully he seems just fine!

Whem!

No more using a table with snakes EVER. These guys get photographed on the ground from now on!

You might be a ball python fanatic if you subconsciously convert the price of virtually everything in to units of piebald ball pythons
