I am new to snakes and I got a hatchling ball python a few days ago. I also bought a fake log hide for him. The log has this little branch that sticks off it and I thought it would be good for him to climb on, but I didn't realize the branch part is also hollow. At first I thought he had escaped, but after searching through everything I found him crammed up in there. Neither his head or tail is in reach of the hole. Is he stuck in there or can pythons squeeze out of pretty much anything they get themselves into? He's been in there for about 30 hours (unless he sneaked out and back in). I've poked him a few times and he moved, so he must be able to breath, I'm just worried he can't get back out. I'm afraid I'll injure him if I break open the hide, so I really don't want to do that unless I'm sure he's stuck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kerry
