We all have our opinions, which is great for a community of any kind.

Interesting thread. Yeh I reckon it is better not to panic until you have something to panic about but being overly cautious is not a bad thing, since when as any one been charged for being to concerned for their animals welfare.

If we all knew everything about keeping reptiles we would never get started simply because of the time it would take to learn all there was to know.

TAKE HIM TO THE VET. if your mum wont help you with the vet charges, talk to the vet. im sure he/she will work something out with you, like paying it off or working it off by doing jobs around the vet surgery

i wouldn't worry too much at this stage. while there is a chance there is something wrong there is also a good chance that they are fine. as i said my childrens does a similar thing and it is as healthy as.

lol that means wildlife not your pets dude. heheheh it just means he will not come in after hrs to look at a possum that some has run over.

Is the snake displaying any other signs? is it tongue flicking, and the way it moves is general is it moving normally or can you notice anything odd.

With my water python i noticed the way she was moving her whole body just wasn't normal, i also noticed that she had stopped tongue flicking. This was what made me realise she wasn't good.

l had a young coastal fall and wack his head on a rock . For 3 - 4 weeks he behaved very weird then slowly improved till he is fine now . lf l had taken all advice to heart l would have huge vet bill or mabey even have put him down . Two snakes falling could just be coincidence . Dont panic .

I've had snakes that would occassionally fall of their perches - it would give me quite a fright. I still have those snakes, several years down the track. I wouldn't be too concerned at the moment, particularly as they have not shown any other symptoms.
