Re: Eddie trying to escape
every damn night! I had to put a bunch of stuff on his tank. luckily when he does get out he goes to the same place. So I can always find him.
Re: Eddie trying to escape
Stan does that too. I work nights so the nights I don't work I'm up and I watch him just pushing and pushing and pushing. I scold him like a dog.... ;) (It doesn' really have much effect on him...)
Re: Eddie trying to escape
Mine does this too - always trying to sniff the sweet air of freedom. For several hours during active time (dusk to midnight-ish) It doesn't help that one time she actually escaped (I caught her in the act) and seems to remember how she did it the first time, and so keeps trying.
I noticed something about your enclosure though - it looks like you have Fluker's thermometer/hygro? I had the same ones at first and recently replaced with a digital - the dial had been off by a full ten degrees. Pretty shocking. So if your Eddie's trying to escape all the time, it might be a temperature problem? Maybe you're double-checking temps with something else though, and he's just being a curious python :) They always sense the most promising avenue of escape!
Re: Eddie trying to escape
Yea, I've just never taken those down. I have two digitals, one on each side. You can see one in the top right of the pic (yellow). Recently got a laser one so I can check all over the place ( I love gadgets ). Thanks though! I always welcome observations and suggestions!
Re: Eddie trying to escape
mine does this very often, hes only successfully escaped twice.
first time he didn'y get too far.
but the second time, i went away for the weekend and came back home to him missing....eventually found him wrapped around the warm motor of my mini fridge, i had to unscrew the whole motor out in order to get him out
