One of my new additions (approx 3 mths old now) loves climbing but isn't very good at it. She particularly likes standing upright on her tail in the corner of her viv and then falling over (a bit like Del Boy did in that bar).
Some times she appears a little shaken and will lie still for a bit, but other times she jumps straight back up and does it again. In fact in the last 10 minutes she's fallen 3 times.
Clearly she's a bit mental but is she doing herself any harm ?
They're normally fine falling the length of themselves. Probably a lot more than that, I know most have had a snake jump out of their hands at some point and they're always fine.
Ours seem to enjoy going to the top of the viv just to fall. They like trying to wrap themselves around the little led lighting....those and a big snake don't work! so they fall....seem to be fine because they go and do it again! I was really worried the first couple of times i seen it happen
I have put a very thin vine decoration on the roof in my Boas viv, it's hilarious watching a 6 foot 2.6kg snake dangling off of something similar to a leafy shoelace. She's not fallen though to her credit she's a very able climber. My Royal falls off anything over 3 inches high.
Just plain clumsy...
