R.I.P. Minnie
.. and probably Minotauro too.. They both escaped (due to my error, obviously) on feeding night, and although we found Minnie, it was too late. She'd been without heat for too long, at the wrong time. I feel awful. So sorry Dave. My error cost one of your babies the ultimate price.

They got down into the A/C vent. A snake trying to digest doesn't stand a chance. (I've since tried again to snake-proof all the upstairs vents.)

Re: R.I.P. Minnie
So sorry to hear this Roy. Unfortunately snakes are natural born escape artists, if there is any way out, they will find it. All you can do now is learn from your experience and make sure it does not happen again.
Another good reason to feed in their cage not a temp feeding enclosure.

Re: R.I.P. Minnie
That's weird that he got into the AC vent, any smart snake will seek out heat; be it behind a fridge, a baseboard heater or a slice of heat tape of another bin. Any escapee I have ever heard was found no more than 10 feet from its original enclosure, near heat.
As sad as this is, I hope you learn from it and make your enclosures truly escape-proof.
