Dewie the giant green snake scared me today
If anyone remembers, I shattered the front of my green snake cage, I eventually moved him to Chompers old cage.

When I built it, I used 2 sheets of wood on the front with a spacer to clamp the glass in place.

This left a 1/2 inch gap inside the construction that had a small 1/2 x 1 inch opening way up high in the left front corner. (I never noticed)

Tonight when I went in to feed Dewie, I could not find him.

The top of the cage is screwed down with wood screws, so I have to use a screwdriver to open the cage.

Now this math is not adding up.... Missing snake, top screwed on tight?? where in the heck did my snake go??

While looking around inside the cage, I see a green head poke out and look at me, then vanish back into the wall.

After a quick disassembly with a screwdriver, we found Dewie sandwiched between the two layers of wood.

I have since filled in the gap, then re-assembled the cage.

Before anyone asks, I label my 12 volt bulbs so I don't accidentally put one in an ordinary household socket and blow the bulb up...

Nope, that's the one I paid too much for. The Asian cousin to the one I found.

Dewie is quite the handsome fellow. He looks so regal and poised in that photo. How large is he?

I'd say around 3 feet or so, he's still rather young.

Re: Dewie the giant green snake scared me today
Beautiful, I think the green snakes are so clean and classic looking. Would love to keep one someday. I know what it is like to have a cage mishap. My spider ball escaped a few months back from her enclosure. It was scary...
