    Spinal Injury

    Hi Everyone
    I hate to have to introduce myself in the "Urgent Care" section, but I'm quite worried about by snake. He seems to have some sort of spinal Injury. I only noticed it today and the only incident I can think of that could have caused it happened about 2 months ago when my Mother accidentally dropped him. I couldn't see any apparent signs of injury back then. He shed and started eating again the day after the fall. He's never had any problem moving and he is quite active.
    Even now it doesn't seem to affect his movement or appetite. He doesn't like being handled very much which I can understand after being dropped.
    Anyway, here's a picture I just took.
    Is this reason for great concern? Can anything be done about it? Will it affect him more later?

    He's my first snake so I'm sure I have a lot to learn.

    btw, My name is Lourens and I'm from Gauteng, South Africa. Great to meet you all.

    Thanks
