Had an Escape

[Jay]

Due to my own negligence I had left a viv open during a spot clean yesterday. This morning i went in my storage closet to get some calcium to dust some crickets and I heard what I thought was a bee buzzing, upon closer inspection it was my male Sonoran Gopher Snake buzzing his tail. All is well now, I got lucky I was in a rush heading out the door for work when i noticed a mess in the tank so I quickly scoped it and left. I am posting this as a message to all keepers DON'T RUSH THINGS, take your time and be responsible.

I didnt latch my BP's tank properly one day and he managed to open it wide enough to escape but he didnt go far he stayed in the room we kept him in just on the windowsill it gave me a heart attack lol now i padlock his tank

Glad you found him. I have a yearling corn snake that's been missing for about a month now. I didn't leave his viv open, but it's a viv I designed myself, with a design flaw and he was able to squeeze between the 2 pieces of sliding plexi that I installed on the front. Had a BP get out the same way last weekend but luckily I found him the next day. Needless to say all of these vivs are now rigged up with all sorts of insulation and tape in that gap.

I left my first iguanas enclosure open as I ran to change the water and came back she was gone :/ that was almost a year ago now. I tore every inch of the room and house apart looking but never found her.
