Do you have a lock on the cage? It's possible you did close it and she pushed it open.
My BP can actually slide the glass open if don't use a shim.

There is a lock, but it’s one of those jewelry case locks that slide on, so it was able to lock while still being slightly open.

Re: New Scrub - Very Frightened / Nervous
I’m glad everything worked out well this time W. A good reminder to double/triple check and make sure those enclosures are secured. Sounds like your scrubbie is stretching out a bit. I think my boy is a tad over 7ft but still pretty slender even though he smashes large and jumbo rats like tic-tacs. I’m hoping to get some rabbits for him and the other larger critters next year.

Yea, normally I'm pretty cautious about these things, but everyone makes mistakes I guess.
Yes, she's getting longer and longer! It was quite shocking. She's also fairly slender, about the size of my forearm, but the longest tail I've ever seen. I need to make a new hide box because she's barely fitting in her favorite one.
I feed jumbo rats as well. I'll be getting rabbits for my retic soon I think.

I've been there too!
I had an escape once. My boa's cage was all closed up and locked but one of the tabs in the upper left corner was not over the glass.
The next morning I sat and stared at the cage like an idiot thinking the snake was hidden somewhere in the substrate or behind something.
Then I saw the tab open but still thought there was no way he could squeeze through an area that tight.
I was wrong!
Fortunately I knew where he'd go. He was under the (at the time) retic cage next to the room heater just chilling out.
The retic I had back then was an up and coming Jackass and I started making a habit of redundant cage lockup checks from then on.
An escape is stressful enough. A potentially dangerous animal escaping adds another level to that. Luckily in my case the snake room is separated from the rest of the house by doors and stairs.
Glad you got things squared away.
