1st snake escape, where have u guys found them?

[BCS]

Ouch, here it comes. Not once. Sorry, this is something that shouldn't happen. Definitely not more than once.

It depends on the circumstances. It shouldn't happen but it does. I had two corn snakes when I first started out. As you begin to learn their capabilities... its hard to imagine the skinny holes they can get out of. Plus their climbing abilities is something a lot of new owners do not anticipate. I know I sure never knew. I had my butter motley female who was about 10 inches long escape through the tub lid which was 14 inches up. I got her a proper tank that had sliding glass doors but she was able to squeeze through the 2mm space between the doors. And this enclosure was built with snakes in mind.

I had a ball python in a sliding glass tank. While I was out, the front glass door broke in half. It was 4mm thick so how it happened I do not know. But he was gone. Luckily I found him under the bed with no injuries.

Two times, when my kids were young and curious, twice they let loose my ball pythons (just two) but they were easy to find. I do not have them in a locked room and being that they were (and still are) pulling open the tubs were easy. They haven't done it since, I will tell you that much.

It is not like we mean it to happen on purpose and even though it should not happen it does. As long as the animal is found safely and the problem is corrected, it should not happen constantly. Even big breeders like BHB Reptiles, JJ Reptiles, TLC Reptiles and so on have escapees.
