We are not trying to scorn you or give you a difficult time here. What we are trying to do is impress upon you how important the proper caging is for your animal. Personally, I couldn't relax at home and definitely not away from home knowing my snake is not secured in a escape proof enclosure. You need to just get a whole new setup right now before you lose him for good! A setup with a appropriate securing device. Simple as that. Part of owning pets, especially reptiles, is being responsible. No scorn, not throwing you under the bus, there are just certain things that are a must. Good luck!
