    Animal plastics cage question
    Hello All,
    My girl is in an AP T-10 enclosure. I opted for the sliding glass doors, but there might be a problem. For the past two months, my girl seems to wedge her head between the glass door and frame. It is a tight squeeze and I can see her head is squished pretty tight when she is behaving this way. The top of her head is getting some VERY minor abrasions. If anybody out there has the same enclosure in which their snake does the same thing? Is this something to worry about? I am probably overreacting to this because I know BPs cram themselves into tight spaces in the wild.

    If anybody can chime in and let me know, I would appreciate it.
    Cheers!

    I have the same exact enclosure and my BP does exactly the SAME thing. Nothing to worry about. They look stuck but they get themselves out just fine. Just snake shenanigans.

    Same here. We have our two males in a divided T10 and the pied was on the right side of the tank. He would shove his head in between the glass and the tank; in fact, one day he had his head so squished in there I thought he was dead. But he pulled himself out and went back in his hide. He was doing it so much he rubbed a spot on the top of his head.

    We even tried switching the boys around to see if the black pastel would do it; so far, I haven't caught him in the act.

    My snake will often try to ride the rail that sits just inside of the glass and just as often tips over and falls sideways back onto the floor. Not always the most graceful :P

    *edit* ^^ Hah. Just noticed yours does the same thing.
