Yes!

Chances are that it is completely unharmed by the ordeal and you are more traumatised by the incident than it is!

Never hurts to get them checked out!

Let us know how it gets on

OMG! I think something like that happening to my snakes would litterally send me into a panic!

I agree with chameleon2005, you just never know if there any internal injuries. And though he may be fine, it never hurts to be sure! Are you going to try to take him today? If you can...do.

PLEASE let us know as soon as you do if he's alright. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

How heavy was your tool box? If it wasn't more than 5lb's I doubt there will be much wrong with him....

If nothing else watch him carefully for the next few days. Look for locomotion/movement issues. Be patient with your parents and stay calm yourself. If you snake starts to act funny I'm sure they'll help you get him to the vet.
