    If there was no way to the snake to get out there should be obvious evidence of the cat getting in.

    Did you sift through the substrate to check for burrowing? Or check the INSIDE of the decorations?

    Sorry for your anxiety and hassle. Hope all turns out well.

    They jam themselves into the oddest places - even when inside the enclosure.
    I was SURE one of mine had escaped. Nowhere to be found, yet the top had been securely latched. Still, not there is... NOT THERE! By this time, I had taken everything out.

    He was soaking under the pebbles that filled an extra water dish I had included to boost the humidity. Black pebbles, black snake. He looked a bit annoyed at the disturbance.

    If the cat is well fed I doubt that s/he ate the snake. Cats love to torment small critters and bugs by "playing" with them until they are dead or close to it.

    OTH, if the cat was real hungry then it could be a different story.

    They are little worms, what substrate do you use? Did you go through all of it carefully? I once thought my BP escaped but he was under the waterbowl the whole time

    Obviously, a good practice is to check the latches (or what ever secures the top/door) when leaving the enclosure. However, I also think it its a good practice to check the latches before going into the enclosure. If the latches were secure before going in, the snake must still be in there.

    I have a hard time imagining a cat would properly replace the entry to any cage.
