i have these wooden cubby places that come off my wall at eiter side of my room, and theres about a 2 inch gap from the floor, and my snake has gotten in BOTH of them, lol. i leave him on the ground for a minute and look at the comp, and i look back and go CRAP lol.
i just end up aiming his head towards the outside with a broken plastic coathanger (so its just like a hook with an arm) and i tap his tail and he slithers out lol, just like this. thats him leaving the hole, lol.
