haha thanks guys, he's a real character.

wow i didn't know PVC tubes posed such a risk! are you sure they were stuck, and not just reluctant to come out? i know when i try to get my snakes out of the paper tubes, sometimes they tense up all their muscles, and i guess sort of "inflate" themselves in an effort to NOT let you remove them. i imagine they would come out on their own time?

but yeah if people think their snakes have been stuck, i would most definitely stay away from PVC tube. i've had a snake get stuck before, and it was soooooo awful. i will see if i can dig up a photo of the thing she got stuck in, i totally didn't even think it was possible, but there she was with her head quite literally STUCK inside. they can be kind of silly, sometimes. trying to fit in spaces they clearly won't fit in.

i have another really good tube photo of my Dumeril's boa, it's not uploaded though so perhaps i'll post that when i get home from work.
