    Ball python stuck?

    I usually take my BP out and let him "explore" on my bed or a desk or something every now and then. Just a while ago I thought I lost him, but he somehow snuck inside my computer cooler and now he's stuck! any advice/tips for me to get him out?

    Re: Ball python stuck?

    turn it off, first of all. not only do you not want electricity running through it, but itll be much too cold. can you disassemble it?

    we'll focus on the urgent nature of the situation, but its a bad idea in general to take your eye off your snake when its out and about.

    I turned it off, but I cannot disassemble it without breaking it. And I really don't want to break it since that might harm my pet.
    Also, I usually keep my eye on him. I just made the stupid mistake of thinking he wouldn't go anhywhere if I left for like, a second...Well, this is a learning experience..

    This is basically the conundrum I am in right now:

    just how stuck are we talking? these guys can look wedged in pretty tight, but chances are he can wiggle out ok.

    I fed him 6 days ago... I don't think a rat or mouse will get his attention.. but I guess I could try and see if he's hungry.

    He won't take any food and I don't know what else to do. Would it be wrong if I just put the unplugged and cooled off computer cooler in the cage and see if he figures out how to slither out of it later?

    Yep. That's exactly what I would do. I wouldnt worry about it too much.

    My Albino boy squeezes himself between the glass and splash in his terrarium but always gets out.

    (Yep, there's glass there)


    Here's a better one:
