1st snake escape, where have u guys found them?

[se7en]

There is a lot of breeders and multiple snake owners on this form, let them chime in. I've kept kings, milks, garters, boas (rainbows, BCI, BBC, Dumerili) and balls. In tanks and in neodesha cages. For newborns to eight foot Argentines. Sorry, maybe once. But that's still one too many. And just cause a big breeder does it, don't make it right.

You looking for a trophy or something? A gold star maybe?

Itis irresponsible to have snakes escape; but this doesn't mean once in a while, unexpectedly your nifty one houdini finds a creative way out. That's not irresponsible, that's an insanely persistent snake. However, if every few weeks a BCI escapes, then next time a hognose, then a retic, then a ball, then a garter you are doing something wrong and should not own snakes. If you have snakes escaping left and right and they all get out with ease the same way, you are doing something wrong. And if you can't pull your act together, you shouldn't have them. Now, if you're BHB and have 1000 snakes and have a different snake go missing each couple months, that is likely just an accident on your part or a houdini snake; it's acceptable to be an accident on your part, because if you check 1000 tubs a day, and one time in a couple months one isn't properly closed, that's not a bad ratio, 59000:1. But if you own a 30 snake breeding business for ball pythons and you lose one every two months give or take, that's not good. Ok?

This right here. Nuff said.
