my children pythons got out of its tank and wedged it self in a tiny crevise and we had to try to pull it out slowly
im just wondering if there is anyway to check i didnt injure it???​
 
x-ray at the vet's or maybe it flinches when you touch certain parts
 
If he/she is moving and behaving normally, your snake is probably fine. Injured snakes can be uncharacteristically snappy. Regarding broken bones, I think breaks will often cause swelling - I've read stories here where broken bones resulted in very obvious lumps. If nothing seems amiss, just keep an eye on him/her over the next few days.

If you're at all concerned, a vet trip will ensure peace of mind. Try to find an experienced reptile vet.
