I had a male that was a particularly talented escape artist. I have some females that will chew holes in their bins if given the opportunity, but they're happy to destroy my property and stare out of the holes at the rest of the room. Bobert, on the other hand, did not like to be contained. When I had my rats in tubs his had to have something heavy on top of it or he'd escape (happened 3 times). When I had him in the rack, he ate a hole through the bins and escaped twice before I was fed up with him and pushed him onto one of my rat loving friends. He was way too big for any of my snakes to eat (fatty was about 400 grams!) and I didn't know what I would do with him if I gassed him. This friend had bought two of his sons off me when I first started breeding rats, and I honestly didn't care where he went as long as I didn't have to deal with him anymore!

He was never very hard to find; either he was running around the room pooping on everything I loved or hiding in the moving boxes I still have in the closet pooping on my memories and collectibles. Lucky for me he didn't seem to know how to climb down the stairs.
