Just thought I would share this... At 330am this morning me and the missus woke to a bang downstairs. It turns out Thor my 6' Nicaraguan had busted his Viv and the glass had fallen out!!!
I almost never got up but the missus insisted it sounded like glass, I assumed it was the dogs banging about.
I went down and the 3ft by 2ft pane of glass from his Viv was lying on the floor and Thor had his head out looking around lol...
He had got between his plastic hide and the bottom piece of the Viv that the runner sits on and forced it apart enough to get the glass out lol.
Thankfully I had picked up my new female Saturday so had a Viv to put him straight in, although this isn't ideal it was a help at that time in the morning.
He couldn't have escaped the room as all the doors were shut and he is dog tame so I doubt he would have done anything.
Our sons bedroom door is always shut but I would hate to think what could happen to others with larger more unpredictable snakes.
Just a word of warning to others with bigger snakes, regular vivs may not be up to the job... His Viv was a vivexotic so a well known brand. I'm glad I have his new Viv arriving this week with a wooded runner panel, that will be getting a few extra screws for sure.
Thankfully everything was fine this time, the glass didn't break either which is good. Lesson learned, don't underestimate the power of a snake.
