St Regis? What is that? An institute for the mentally damaged?:confused:

My girl turns into GI Jane when one of our balls get out, she down on her belly doing a reccy under tables, chairs, racks etc...:rofl:

Anyhoo, here is the pic of Delilah trying to make her escape

She knows that the glass door slides sideways and she knows that of she noses around that spot that she may be able to make a sneaky getaway:snake::snake:

Not exactly an escape pic as I was watching him the whole time but...

I actualy had my 2300 gram girl get stuck inside my dad's leather couch >.< We had her out holding her, and she managed to get her head in between the cushions and got into the frame of the couch and was chillin in one of the coils. we slowly tipped the couch upside down and cut a flap open in the bottom, and like the OP did, we tickled her tail until she came out on her own. Ooooooh that was not a happy day for her! lol

I had Blackback get out of the original bin, and he was up on the shower curtain rod, pretending to be a amazon tree boa. The other escape was two hatchlings, out of another rubbermaid bin. I was awakened by the dogs barking and huffing for me to come to the living room. There I found a baby unconcerned about the dogs, crawling happily across the floor. She was returned to the bin. The next night, my old english sheepdog suddenly lept up in the air. The other missing baby had crawled onto her head while she was sleeping. That one was also placed back in a bin. Now that I have the rack systems, there's no more escapes.

Trust me, she is not mentally damaged :rolleye2:, though she may be if she found the snake missing from it's enclosure. The St. Regis is a high end resort down the way in Dana Point.

One of the only things is my wife is afraid of reptiles & insects. She was a sweetheart as always in letting our son adopt a BP that needed a home. She won't touch the snake, but cares enough about teaching our boy about animals and to let us have reptiles is a big deal for her. In fact she is the one who suggested giving this BP a home.

She laughs that if it ever escapes she will be enjoying a massage, spa and dinner while we look for the escapee. This is her way of telling us... don't let it get out without us around, and perhaps make us look really hard cause I don't want to outlay that kinda cash!

Aaah ok, gotcha.... The way you posted about St Regis I kinda took it that your wife would have a nervous breakdown or something if the ball got out. :gj:

Be careful though, that is a nice make-good present that she'd get, make sure she don't do a sneaky and bump the cage so that the door opens.... ooops.... escaped ball python... St Regis here I come:banana:

Man's best friend to the rescue again, those sheepdogs are super, nice intelligent animals... some dogs will try and gobble up a ball on sight... they are like animated rope toys:rofl:
