Silly snakes, its funny because once you find them in places like that it takes ten minutes just to get them out if they dont wanna leave

they do get a bit miffed when you put them back, don't they.
ours got out about a month ago.
She is in a tank with a screen lid and a few lid clips, also had some books sitting on the screen to keep her from lifting it. one day i woke up and as normal went to see her first thing. i called my husband and asked him if he had her out (i knew he didn't, just making sure) he said no, she's in her cage. I said no she's not and he came running in the room. after 30+min of looking for her all around the room we finaly found her in the undertank shelf coiled around some junk in there. we had to empty out most of the shelf to get her out. and when i went to put her back in her tank she kept sticking out her tail to grab the side of it. once we got her back in she started looking for another way out. but i put some bigger books on her lid.
i still catch her now and then looking for a way out
silly little balls.

Haha, BPs have such funny personalities... my girl has gotten into more than her share of tight squeezes, and usually comes out covered in bruises and in a very bad mood. Once they decide to do something, it is nearly impossible to change their minds!

I would share, but I am lucky enough to have no escape stories. (With my BP, at least... we've had a feeder rat that was loose in the house for a week, then got loose again 2 days later and was found in my laundary basket. Poor thing.)

She like to come out for new year party ~ :D

Yup, she sure does, shame she had to party onher own thoughm with only some snake'ish wires for company;)

Ah, leave it to the snakes! Just when you are ALWAYS going to lift them up or get them out of a situation they ALWAYS tighten their grip - usually on what is the most inconvenient item around.

Well I haven't had any BP escapees yet but I did have one of my little snow corns get out on me. I must have just forgotten to push the tub all the way in when I was feeding them one night and when I checked on them the next morning the little bugger was long gone lol. I set up a couple pinky traps and a couple tape traps for him but no luck. Then like a week later I'm checking on the ball rack and I see this little white stripe along the side, so I pull the whole thing out and sure enough there he is! I don't know how he managed it but he got like 5 levels up in the rack and was just chilling there enjoying the warmth obviously lol.

Glad you found her BTW :gj:

Anyone out there got pics or stories of their balls getting out, share them with us here:

I have a great story on how I got my ball python on accident!! I have wanted a ball python or corn snake for years but my mom said no snakes and so I gave up hope and stopped researching! So I was selling some pet supplies I didn't need, at the local petstore then the owner called me to ask me to pick up my stuff as she was moving her store and so I did and a week later I walk in my room and there was a ball python slithering across the floor and apparently he excaped from the petstore and came home with me, so I called the petstore and she didn't answer so me and my mom drove down to the petstore to tell her and she was thrilled that it was me that found him and not someone else that hated snakes so I asked for a mouse to feed him with and she gave me a free mouse and man was he hungrey and I was so excited she was only going to sell him to me for $20 and so I bought him and that was amazing that my mom let me keep him as she is terrified of snakes but likes Monty as long as he doesn't excape!!

But it's going to be eaten eventually anyway!
My escape story: years ago my Butler's Garter snake (no, we don't have a butler, that's the species name) escaped (it was a cruddy aquarium tank) through the top by the access flap. I saw a brownish tail behind something on a bookshelf and found it there (on the 3rd shelf:weirdface). Later on we got a better terrarium that actually was meant for keeping reptiles (and now it's being used to house Nephthys the KSB). So there's my story.

I have on allowed mine to roam the room befoer ( mainly when cleanign their cages) I had my bp and black rat decide that the laying insode the computer ( whiel it was running was a warm place to hide) one was between the hadrives and the other had flatten herslef between the cdrom and ( at the tiem ) cd burner) taking about flipped out . i had the side off cause a case fan had died. so I didn't think about but I spent 4 hours lookingin the room for them and I was taking a break had the pc playing music and was like what the heck it the only place I had not checked and there the 2 were all warm and happy in the case just a go happy. I turn the pc off and waited an hour before they realized it cooled down and leave before i put them back in the cages.lol

I also had another corn ( hachling ) that when I first got him got out the cage by shimming up the probe wire and under the tank lid. and with 3 adults, 2 kids and about 8 ( of moms) cats the snake went from end of the trailer to the other end only to go across mom feet as she got ready for bed to be found..
