No idea how she managed to lift it with her little nose and get under it, it was a pretty heavy pot for a little snake! But she did, and she was very happy. I don't even know how she knew to TRY and lift it because it just might be hollow... the things they do when we aren't looking....

I had a pot like that, but it was a busted open one, so Ryn could hide under it. Well one day she decided to go THROUGH the drainage hole...and get VERY VERY stuck. Flared scales, oozing cut wounds..Yeah definitely had to bust her out of that. I felt SO dreadful. I took everybody's plant pot hides out and they were promptly replaced with tupperware. Luckily Ryn is fine, (after a trip to the vet and a few sheds to straighten out scales) and you can barely tell where she was stuck.

I also had a "hollow log" type branch similar to the one in the photos, and Panda wedged himself in there. He wasn't stuck, but he sure didn't want to come out on his own. As soon as he did that stupid branch came out
