    i was assuming it was the substrate. but he is literally pushing the screen. i have never seen him do that before

    double check and make sure ur substrate doesnt have anything added to it that may bad for ur snake. but most likely he just really hates his new digs if it changed after a year. i say take him out and put th old stuff back.

    yea i think i am gonna do that. but obviously the pet store isnt open right now. but i am gonna go in the morning and get the stuff he use to have. but now i know that he absolutley hates cypress. i feed in a cardboard box. should i try and feed tomorrow as well as changing his substrate.

    no dont feed just yet. let him get comfortable first. once he starts to hide again try feeding. if u have extra newspaper laying around try that. its easy to clean and i feed my snake inside its tank without worrying about getting substrate in her mouth. heat also gets from the UTH to their stomache better that way

    yea true. i will try that. and wait until he isnt stressing out so much. hopefully he doesnt get out tonight. i wedged a piece of foil in the hole he put in the screen just as a temporary fix. is that gonna be good enough to keep him out

    uuuh ya prolly not. if he can get to the screen he can really do some damage to himself. pull out the substrate before u go to sleep. put newspaper, paper towels, hand clothes, old t-shirts jut something in there other than the new substrate

    if u have duct tape, tape both side carefully so he cant get up and get into the tape. try and get up early, go to the store and get a new screen. when u get home check his face for wounds. neosporin and a vet will be ur best friend
