iv also known of people that have brought ready made vivs from shops with the holes drilled by shop for heat mats being far to big and snakes escaped.We keep all hatchlings in small Faunariums with just the end sat on mat until snake is a bit bigger but a shop wont recomend this as selling you a viv will be better for there pockets.

A lot of people keep snakes in RUBs (really useful boxes) these days because, despite them not looking fantastic, they are easy to clean, escape proof and allow for all the snakes requirements.

I am dreading getting my corn a bigger viv, where ever the head goes the body follows, heh. And they can really flatten their heads when they want to.

Glad you found his safe and sound!

I never knew they'd try to escape i imagined they just sort of behaved themsleves, LOL

I have to agree with these viv locks etc - If a snake escaped it could get anywhere - even outside - and if one turned up in my garden with my dogs or turned up in my house I would have a heart attack and maybe hurt it!!!! I wouldnt harm any animal but if something like that happened I dont know what I would do.
I love to look at snakes as long as they are behind glass - but other than that they scare the living daylights outta me

wow maybe i shouldn't have put this up... i'm obviously a bad owner now.
i probably just left the door open slightly, everyone makes mistakes when they have more animals to feed.

i think this is a good thread it is just that people have got different opinions and it is obvious it was an accident

i always forget that sarcasm can't be picked up in text
Luckily if he got out out jeff is pretty predictable as in i know where he likes to go and hide.

Would any snake slither into the toilet???
Or imagine him hiding in ya knicker drawer!!!
eek:eek:
Jesus I shouldnt stay on this thread - I might have a nightmare PMSL
In general where would an escaped snake try to get to????

You are no a bad owner so don't think that. We all make mistakes and learn by them
Like i said ours got out through the glass but as soon as we new how they was getting out we sorted it.

Well perhaps you have to many animals then if thats what your saying is the reson behind your snake getting out.We have a house full and iv not had any thing go missing.Wasnt saying your a bad owner but how would you feel if the snake had not been found? How would neighbours feel about finding it in there house.Please dont tell me that couldnt happen as iv known of some one loosing a 6 foot Burm that turned up next door to him.Yes he was a irresponsible keeper but thankfully the snake was found and didnt get out in wild and end up dead.Your "mistake" could have cost your snake its life.Are you gonna buy a lock or just hope you dont make another mistake.
