Can she hurt herself?
She keeps climbing all the way to the top and then falling. It's funny to watch, but I don't want her to get hurt. I am getting a 20g long tank in like 2-3 weeks, but I don't want her to hurt herself till then.

Re: Can she hurt herself?
My baby snakes do that, it bothers me and I usually try to get them down but I don't think it poses any serious health issues.

Re: Can she hurt herself?
Nah probably not, if you're concerned just give her something to climb on!

I'm still in the process of decorating her tank. But I heard they aren't really climbers. Is that true? Or will she climb on branches if I put them there?

Yeah, right now I have 2 fat textbooks on top. But I ordered some clamps so they should be here tomorrow or Saturday.

if she is climbing the side of the tank I think it is safe to say she will use the branches as well.

Re: Can she hurt herself?
Put a climbing branch in there so that when she does fall down, she doesn't go all the way... but I don't think it'll actually do much harm...she's probably just losing balance and falling to the side, right?

I think she might climb it? If he doesn't you could take it out and use it on any future reptiles!

True. I feel like I'll be enabling her escape-plotting behaviours if I put branches there lol
Is she going to be doing this forever, or is she just getting used to her new home?

Depends on the snake, imo.
I hate swimming, some people love swimming 
anyway, If she cant push herself out of the tank (which shell find a way out if she can with a branch or not..) then it wont be bad, she might just be exploring, and a branch (i need one too actually..) would be a good idea

I really want to get her one, but the pet stores around here have jack sh** and I don't want to get one online since I don't really know what I'd be getting
