I put some books on the 4 corners of the screen, tomorrow I'm going to go buy more screen clips...I really hope that's how he got out(pushing up a corner of the screen) because if not then he's probably going to get out again and next time I probably won't have so much luck finding him.

Trust me, snakes can squeeze through the tiniest openings. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

Re: immediate help needed
I've got an escape artist, you would be surprised what they can do to get out. I finally got mine in a locking cage because he kept getting out of everything else. And by locking I mean an Animal Plastics cage with a key and a gap in the glass big enough that only a baby corn snake could get through. (My escape artist is a juvenile retic.)

Re: immediate help needed
Help!! He got out again, and this time I can't find him! I saw him in his enclosure last night, this morning there was a shed in there...I looked through the bottom of the tank and didn't see him buried in the substrate so I took EVERYTHING out and tore apart the enclosure....he's gone! The top was weighted down with books. What do I do?!

Re: immediate help needed
They usually don't go too far. Close off the room if you can and check any nearby heat sources. You can try setting a pinky inside a bottlenecked container and see if he comes out. Best wishes, I really hope you find him.

Re: immediate help needed
Honestly, follow your cat again, they've helped me find loads of snakes that have escaped, check warm dark places first, usually anything close to the cage. Honestly if there are no holes in the glass (Which I imaigine you would have spotted by now) and you had the lid weighted down, then the gap in the middle is the only option, to the snake that's his only way out and he'll do whatever to get out if he can. I've lost many snakes because I thought I was smarter than the snake and it couldn't possibly get out, so always better to be safe than sorry.

Re: immediate help needed
The weighing down with books method never worked for me either. They will find and exploit any weak spot.

That's true, remember they have nothing but time to find a part of the lid that will lift up for them.

Re: immediate help needed
I'm glad you found him!
(I'm now having nightmares about my garter escaping because I stuck a branch in her cage last night. This is going to be a long work day.)

you would be surprized how strong a snake can be even a young one
the only way he could have got out was by pushing the top up enough to squeeze out
until you get clips.lay some heavy books on the top to weigh it down
cheers shaun

Re: immediate help needed
My kenan was Houdini use to perplex me on how he got out! I'm 100% certain it is that slit in the middle I had a similar lid on my corn's enclosure! He did it once I changed the top and haven't had a problem since.
