Warning about duct tape in your snake tank/ viv

Hey guys I noticed this thread has already been posted.
But I think this is one thing that people should not forget EVER!
Due to the damage this can do to snake.
I recently discovered my 13 month old corn snake in the bottom of my vivarium
Covered in duct tap that i had recently used to hold up some wires for my blue and green LED tap light I had installed in my vivarium.
The corn was covered in it and was in a bad way she had struggled to get free and made this hundreds of times worse for her self
I had to use warm water and patrolium gelly to free the snake from the tape
At 1st I thought she was going to die due to the state of her I got her free of the tape and she is now missing alot of scales and and colour on her left side
She is now ok and feeding well and is still a pleasure to handle i will post a photo as soon as I can.
So for anyone who has any type of INDUSTRIAL TAPE in the viv / tank remove it
As soon as you can before this happens to you and try and find a diferent way to stick things
Because the feeling you get when you see your baby in that state and it's all your fault is not a good one and is very upsetting for you and your reptile
