This was mentioned to me by another member here the other day. They had a BP get behind the foam background. Is the hole he is using along the top or the foam or one of the sides? I added additional foam background to the sides in my Exo Terra for the time being, which makes in nearly impossible for anything to get through that way, it creates such a tight corner. For the top or bottom, the only thing I can think to do is put a little substrate down before putting the foam in, helping to seal up any little gaps along the bottom and push the foam upwards slightly, hopefully closing gaps at the top as well.
BTW, that is a gorgeous snake you've got there. I don't know anything about scrubs, but now I am curious...

It’s at the top left near the light. Originally, it was from a light being too hot, so it melted a small hole into the foam. That’s why I was worried at first. But I scooted things over and he can’t get any closer to the lamp by going through the opening than he can any other time.
I figure if he feels the the need to hide back there, I should just let him. I can’t see any way that he can harm himself by doing it, so I’ll just let him be for now. Maybe he’s just being a teenager. He’s due for a cage upgrade anyway. For now, I’ll just let him shun my love😂

Good luck with the picture frames and wall hangings. My snakes never outgrew that. The only thing different now with them being full grown is that they rip that stuff off the wall now. So I try not to let them get within reach, which is hard with 7 and 8 footers.
And Apophis is looking cute as always!

Hahaha, I bet! He’ll get there soon enough. He’s like a destructive little kraken, grabbing everything in his path. It’s definitely getting more difficult to get him out of his enclosure unless he’s snoozing in a hide. Even then, you’ve gotta be quick😂

I love seeing and hearing about that pretty sub adult! He is about 2 years, right?
