The duct-tape is completely wrapped around a piece of cardboard that prevents her from climbing behind her wallpaper.
The hot-glue has dried ages ago, and is used to keep the cardboard piece in place.
I've assured the cage many times to make sure that she cannot get stuck to neither tape or glue.

The "issue-log" is what I think may have caused this? She has never had anything like that before I bought that log and placed it in her Viv.

Here are some pictures;

Hot rocks are marketed for snakes too.
You can still find heat pads that insist you don't need to regulate them. Don't trust the manufacturer claims!

Tapes get damp, and peels back.

Didn't mean to jump all over you.

Very pretty cage. Glad she is doing better.
I've had good luck with securing things with silicone. IMHO, a light adhesive can be safely used IF you silicone over all the tape edges and let the silicone cure 24 hours with the animal secured elsewhere.

She's looking good, glad it's going well. She even yawned for the photo, tell her next time to face the camera with her toothy grin, ha ha ha! :snake:

Thank you a lot!
Yeah, I thought using silicone as well, though I wasn't too sure about that but now I am:) Thanks for the tip!

Ahh, gosh, she just will not face me whenever she yawns! She's such a tease, gee.
