    Re: Ball Python escape, could he have gotten out of the house?

To keep a mouse inside, the wire needs to have openings 1/4 inch or less.
    I agree- "common sense"- but I felt the need to mention not because I thought you didn't understand, but for anyone else that might get it wrong. I've seen too many people use cages they thought a rodent couldn't get out of or that a snake couldn't get into (things like bird cages where the bars are close together but can still be pushed apart some) & snakes can be motivated enough to hurt themselves trying. That's all I meant.
