    Yikes, that sounds like it was a very close call! King snakes are escape artists, & given a few hours, would likely find their way out of the bottom flaps of the bag. They have nothing better to do, so they're very persistent. Also, a bag or any container with a little snake in would have just enough sound or movement that your cats might "help" with her escape... so they're always safer locked in the main tank.
    I've had many years of practice -learning the hard way. I once had an adult bull snake escape from a "very secure side container" when I got too sleepy to finish cleaning her cage one night. She turned up SIX MONTHS later, after hibernating from mid-November to mid-May in an inaccessible space under a kitchen cupboard...happily she was fine & lived happily ever after...but she gave me a LOT of guilt & anxious but hopeless searching until then.
