BP has masking tape stuck to her chin! Help!

Another example of why ANY tape should NEVER be used ANYWHERE inside an enclosure.

I know this is like beating a dead horse. I think they should begin to post a sticky in the forum on this very subject as it's suprising how many times this comes up here.

Get one of those ceramic dog bowls, they are heavy and work well. One of my bp's and my corn like to burrow under the newspaper, it's perfectly fine as long as your UTH is properly regulated by a thermostat. In fact I sometimes use the hides and water bowl to make "tunnels" of newspaper for my corn, he absolutely loves them. :P

Good luck!!

Yes- we had done a LOT of research before getting this snake, and I had never run across a mention of this problem. *sigh* if only I had known (or used some common sense). I mean, it's drummed into us about heat rocks and heat lamps and all that- we need some more anti-tape info in caresheets and the like!

Hopefully she come out of this with all her scales... seeing a BP with a tape scars is such a sad thing.

I think if they do a sticky it should include pics of what it can do to a snake.

LOL!

Well, I got it off of her today! No loss of scales. WHEW. I am now an anti-tape-activist. Let her mess up the cage- better than what all 3 of us have gone through in the last couple of days!

Thank you so very much for all of your help!

I am very glad you got the tape off. Please let me know when and where the first anti tape rally will be held. I will work on sponsors but i think the big ones like 3m and Duck are out...
