I think everyone has addressed the glue issue sufficiently, so I wanted to mention something else I noticed. First, if this occurred just before you went to bed, it's very unlikely that your nocturnal snake was "sound asleep."More importantly, why do you have the thermostat probe inside the tank? It should be outside the actual enclosure for this exact reason (BP climbing on it and knocking it down). Did you mean to say thermometer? And why would either probe be on the side of the tank? Or did you just mean the cord for the thermometer probe?
