Snakes getting out..

[shaunyboy]

i have only ever had 1 snake escape a few times from the same enclosure,it was a jungle hatchling kept in the largest size exo terra faunarium.....

there are vents around the top of the all the sides,of the main part of the tub,1 of the slats were cracked right through at the bottom...

the jungle was pushing the bottom of the slat outwards,so it had enough room to squeeze out..

after 4 or 5 days of checking,then double checking the fanarium,and much head scratching...

i found the crack

other than the above.....

the only escapes i've had,were when I did NOT close their enclosure properly (BAD keeping on MY part)

in the snake shop i used to work as a volunteer.....

they had a hatchling milksnake,squeeze out between the tiny space between the glass sliding doors,the part where they over lap on top of each other,in the middle of the tank,it could'nt be more than 3 or 4mm...

we caught it mid way through an escape attempt,when we went into open the shop one morning,i would NEVER have believed it,had i not seen it with my own eyes
