Welcome to the forum! Would love to see pictures of your snakes once you are able.

I have a juvenile kingnsnake (18" long or so), Mango, and he did escape through a small opening at the top of my tank. Luckily, I found him and then secured the tank. However, I couldn't find him the next day and thought for sure he had escaped again after searching through the substrate and not finding him. However, that night I saw him sitting on top of my LED light that I had put inside the enclosure - I must have just missed him during my searches. So, I'd say the odds that Milton is hiding in the substrate somewhere are pretty likely!

Good luck!

Milton was hiding in the rim of one of his hides and I did not lift it high enough to see him. He is secure with a proper fitting lid and cage clamps. It is amazing how well they can hide.
