Almost losing my new snake.
I didn't buy clamps for my snake's tank, and thought a book would be sufficient. It was a sliding screen top with a broken lock. I didn't think a hatchling could be strong enough. Was very mistaken.
Anyway, I couldn't sleep one night and decided to do one last midnight check on my critters (they're kept in their own small room) and found Dante perched just outside his tank in full surveillance mode (neck and head upright) --having a staring contest with my geriatric cat. They were at eye-level.
I was unbelievably lucky, and I realized this. I bought tank clamps immediately the next day.
I still kick myself for it. But I guarantee it won't ever happen again.
