Include

[DiamondAsh]

MD's tend to have a sheep or two loose in the top paddock. Mine actually moves his larger branches around himself inside the enclosure and from time to time one will slip completley and he'll drop to the ground. I have the same size branches in my Diamond enclosure and he doesn't make them move when he's out and about and he's three times as big as the MD. The MD will also strike at food at any angle and has several times grabbed a rat and on the fall back, swung himself into the back wall in his aggressive snap. The thing is, he keeps doing it, even if I try to coax him down to a safer level first, he'll just launch at it. I've had to just settle down his feeding and drop the rat into the side of the enclosure for fear he'll hurt himself.

It can be a good thing, while you have your snake out for handling, to feel around your snake like an inspection, (not too hard with the fingers), and get a feel for your snake, so when they do do the silly drop or slam, you have a reference to see if they have hurt themselves if something feels different.
