WOW scary
i woke up this afternoon (lol) and look into my snakes enclosures and i see that Ghonda has dragged her hide into the water dish and totally ruined it cause its cardboard, but then when i bend down closer to look at her. pow right there in front of her tank is Maynard just chillen in a coil outside of his cage. i apparently put his lid on wrong when i was showing him to some people and he was just out, scared the crap outta me. just thought i would share

Re: WOW scary
Lol, at least he was still there, always a good idea to double check the enclkosure before leaving it. I am kinda paranoid after my escaped corn last year and find myself checking the vivs everytime i walk by just in case i forgot to lock them.

Re: WOW scary
Lucky you  they say that usually you will find your escape artist within 20 feet of there tank in like the first 12 hours. To bad I the only thing I found of my first corn snake was a shed a floor down from his tank :P

Re: WOW scary
I get special aquariums that have snap down lids that require you to put them under a latch to close the lid. It is nice but it makes the aquarium cost more because it is supposed to be specialized for reptiles only...anything to get a few extra bucks I guess.

Re: WOW scary
I actually have my snake in an aquarium without any lip at all. I've put a metal screened lid on top with a weight, but I'm thinking she'll need a stronger lock system soon. I'm wondering if using tie-down straps will work--any suggestions?

Re: WOW scary
I got a great suggestion! Use reptile related enclosures! Something like a PVC enclosure. Where you don't need weights to keep the snake in!

Re: WOW scary
Thanks, Aaron--it's definitely a thought. I like my aquarium, however, since if has rounded corners and I can see what's going on no matter what angle I'm sitting at. Any other suggestions?

Re: WOW scary
some people just have to work with what they got. im building custom lids so they are more effective. with locks and such so it wont be an issue anymore
