Wish I had of known about this problem before it happened to me I've had our 4 month ball python for just over a month now and have a wooden vivarium everything is great and the snake is happy with no problems I've been using duct tape to secure his plants to the side of his tank I've woken up one morning around 3am for the toilet I thought I'd just have a quick check on him and his tempretures I'm glad I did as he had been climbing on one of his plants and it had come away from the side of his set up for me to find him stuck to the plant and the duct tape struggling to move I felt so sorry for him I emidetly cut him free as much as I could from the plant and tape but the remaining tape was well and truly stuck his skin was stretch out a lot over the tape I soaked him in warm water and tried removing the tape with mo success at all untill I found a video on YouTube explaining to use olive oil and a earbud or a q tip as some call it and gently work the soaked earbud gently round the tape this worked with great affect and the tape was off in minuets with no damage to the snake I was so relieved and can say I won't make that mistake again ha
