It's not always carelessness. I had to cut mine out of my beltloop a couple weeks ago. She got stuck WHILE I was holding her. :oops:But my thoughts when I pick up my snake are not on beltloops. I never even think about beltloops because I don't normally wear belts. You have to keep an eye on them, but lets face it , crap happens. I don't think any of us plan on them getting into bad spots. Learn from it and be a little more aware in the future. At least she was unharmed.:)
