Helpish..... how flexible are pythons REALLY? DX

Because Kallista's trying to cram herself into this draw in my desk that I didn't know she was trying to cram herself into and 1) ICANNOT pull the draw out 2) I CANNOT get her out 3) I'm starting to panic she's just kinda hanging there now and I can't pull her out... I don't want to hurt her and she's REALLY strong.



I don't know what to do.

get a mouse and lure her out with that.
spooky

Seriously. that's the best you can come up with.
'I'm seriously thinking she's stuck and IDK What to do.

Whatever you do don't pull. Gonn have to wait it out or a pic would help

I'll get a picture up. And I'll make sure no one pulls on her

Honestly how much do you care about the desk? My handy self would take it apart but if your not handy then I wouldn't even think about it cause you could kill it if you slip up. Once you get a pick I can definately tell you if there is away to approach it but you need to stay calm. I've seen my girl squeeze into some amazingly smal places. Your snake will be fine and isn't gonna break its own back. So post the pic and we will move on from there.

We were able to get her out, luckily.
We didn't pull on her, so don't worry, but dad was able to shift the drawer after removign a couple of screws and she got herself pulled out. She's fine and isn't hurt.

She's got some scraped up scales, but other than that, she's alright.

I'll post some pictures anyway.

*now she's clinging onto me*

nevermind, i see you already got her out

She's breathing pretty heavy though, like I can hear her exhale every now and then.


Is that just because she's stressed and catching her breath from being squished?

I was going to tell you to pull some drawers at first but would have been bad advice until I had seen what drawer and the setup of the dresser. Well glad you got her out.

here are some pics of how she was stuck:

After, you can see the scrapes she got along her spine:

The first thing she did when I got her out was crawl up my sleeve and into my shirt. XD Poor thing.

Glad you got her out.

for future incidents, a bit of oil will go a long way. :)

I once one of my teacher once had his PB go into a hollow square table leg, no where to go, and no way to turn around. Suck but good.:O

He was beside himself, as was his class, but we poured vegie oil on the exposed half of the snake, worked it in, waited a bit, and puller her right out. :banana:

No damage to snake (or desk)

Yea she was just trying to go ball up in a dark spot. You probably could have waited a few more minutes and just found her balled up in the drawer. Well happy to see the problem was solved. I would recommend you put her back in her cage for now because I'm sure she is a little stressed.

Yeah, I'm sure(she's actually never balled up before with me), but she didn't calculate how fat she was. XD

And we were considering putting some cooking spray/veggie oil on her.

I'll go put her back now. ^^

Sorry, spooky, but I didn't really find what you had said to be amusing or helpful.

I was really scared that she wouldn't be able to get out. Luckily I did get her out though,

I wasn't really in the mood for joking around.

wasent a joke.
spooky

I really doubted though, that a mouse could get her out.


Plus I don't have any mice in the house.

Hey spooky was just trying to help out and you kinda shat on him. You should thank him for taking the time to acknowledge your post instead of critisize his help. I know you were scared but you did throw the first punch so...

Yeah, I know, but really, I couldn't tell by his post if he was being serious or not.

It's easy to misinterpret things over the internet.

So forgive me, Spooky, for not understanding that you were trying to help.:please:
Thanks for taking the time to try to help.:oops:

10/4 ;)
glad Kallista's OK:gj:
spooky

Sorry again,(I really do feel bad for misunderstanding XD:rolleye2:)
And so am I!

Thanks!

They can get themselves into positions they can't get back out of, sure. I had one female practically skin her face by pushing up the side on a sterlite bin lid, and trying to crawl out of it. (Lesson learned--always clamp the long sides when keeping snakes in solitary bins, even if you think they couldn't possibly push it up).

I also caught an escaped milk snake who made his way into a mouse bin to eat, and then got stuck on his way back out, because of the bulge made by the mouse. ^_^

its cool... it was a stressful situation. i understand!
spook

XD Silly milk snake...

I caught a garter snake once who had a pop can lid opener stuck on his body. I carefully got it off of him, he bit me, and then I let him go. XD

Some thanks I got from him apparently. XD

that made me laugh

The most interesting incident was actually a wild snake. I was driving down a side road near a new construction development with open fields nearby, when I noticed a snake writhing around on the road, wildly. I thought at first that it had been hit by a car, but stopped to investigate. Step 1 was to identify that it wasn't a rattler, so I checked the tail, and then my brain had a few moments of confusion, because I couldn't find the head.
Finally, what I was looking at registered--the snake had a soda can on its head. It was a bullsnake.

I picked the poor guy up, whereupon he hissed menacingly (and hollowly, lol). He was wedged in there so good, I had to take him to a vet clinic to have the can removed--they had to cut it off. Inside, they found a deceased young mouse. :)

He was a docile sweetheart once the can was off, and we took him to a park a couple of miles away to release him...no sense releasing him where we got him, as it was all becoming condominiums. :(
