Thanks for that insight! I think I did read somewhere that it is possible for a snake to get fatally caught in a tube that is larger than their girth even. I will take it out and examine it as soon as I finish typing this. I’ll adjust it, or remove the mopani altogether if anything looks remotely close to her being able to get stuck. This picture is from several months ago during the build so I don’t think the mopani was actually affixed yet since i don’t recall any gaps as large the one in that picture. I believe I flipped it over because it did fit rather flush in the end. Ultimately, her safety comes first so I’ll inspect and adjust if questionable at all.

Thanks for pointing that out!
