Just a couple of queries...
Firstly, I got Riff Raff, my little anery hatchling about a month ago now and for the last week or so she is constantly, day and night, climbing the walls of her viv. She seems to be on a constant loop of climbing to the top, edging around the rim and then loudly falling off again. Whilst this is mildly entertaining to watch im getting concerned that the constant falling might actually be physically damaging? The viv is about a foot deep so its quite the fall for such a small snake. She seems fine, but can this be hurting her? Does anyone else have this problem?
Secondly, Im moving house in couple of days and will need the snakes to be unplugged from their heat mats for the duration of the move. How long will they be ok without a heat source for? |

How old is your anery? She could be looking for a mate or just roaming around its nothing to worry about.
It won't hurt her, mine does it all the time. If in doubt have a feel of her ribs etc, and if you think she's hurt, time to go to the vet :)
They will be fine for the duration of your move. |

Corns are always looking for a way to escape. I doubt the fall will be hurting her but it may be worth giving her more to climb on so that she can move around easier off the ground. As long as your temps are correct I wouldnt worry.
Dont let the snakes get too cool and they will be fine. And of course dont feed them. |

If you are worried about the duration of the move use a towel with a hat water bottle wrapped in it.
Casper is always climbing up the cracks between the glass doors then dropping, Sid as the same when he as young. |

It might be worth putting some vines or if you havent more plants so rifraff can climb.  |
