Re: Snakes getting out..
My big Jungle is in a Boaphile for a reason. Every cage i have ever kept her in she escaped or broke the cage trying to get out. I had her in a cage like Rob's She wrapped around the light and pulled till she broke the cord then squeezed her fat but out the two inch whole. I fix this so she couldn't do it again. So then she starts dumping her water bowl every day after i leave for for work. After about a week of this the wood at the bottom started getting wrapped and soft. She push hard enough and broke the bottom side out. Come home one day to fine her sitting in the kitchen. The Boaphile is the only cage i had her in that she has never escaped. If any cage had a week spot she fine it.
My Borneo escaped her tote a couple times last winter that's why i got the big Iris VE 175 (Christmas) totes. The old tote just had the snap down lid. The VE 175 has heave duty flip up and lock latches on both ends. The lid as a 1.5 to 2 inch over lap all the way around so there's know way for a smaller snake to squeeze threw. WHEN USING TOTES ALWAYS GET ONE WITH THE FLIP UP AND LOCK LIDS.
