    Learn From Our Mistake

    That's the remains of a key ring, after releasing a snake from it. If you let your snake investigate your sporran/purse/pocket, make sure you take your keys out first.

    Fortunately, the heavy-duty dikes (side cutters) and pliers were handy, and my husband has the strength to cut the ring and pry it open, freeing his stuck BP. She had a couple dents (like from wearing shoes all day) but I don't think any scales were damaged. Husband also has dexterity.

    As a new snake owner, I would just like to thank you for sharing this. I'm glad I learned this from you guys before something like that happened to my baby. I'm always super cautious but you never really think something like this COULD happen until it happens. Glad your snake baby is okay!

    I totally agree with D3lacr0ix, thank you SO much for sharing this! I was actually thinking today of letting my very adventurous baby BP explore my purse. I'm sure glad I didn't! I have a hugee set of keys. Thank you! And I'm glad your snake is okay! :) hugs

    Checked Kiyo (our keychain girl), she looks fine this morning.

    Thanks for passing this along, I'd have never thought of it and could sure save someone else a lot of grief.

    Another one: remove mugs from your desk before letting a chubby snake explore! I learned this one when mine tried to crawl through the handle when I wasn't paying attention. Fortunately she was still small/squishy enough to squeeze herself out, but just barely!

    Glad you were able to remedy the problem with no harm to your snake.

    I remember one member here had their snake get stuck in a belt buckle. They had to use a Dremol Tool with a cutting wheel to free it. Fortunately he was smart enough to stop often to let the metal cool so as not to burn the snake.
