This happend with in the first few days of getting naga, I had her in a 10 gallon with those horible Dial gage therms and hydormeters. I only had 1 hide and it was to big at that. I made a few beginer mistakes I know but thanks to rabernet and the folks at repticzone all was sorted out.

I was very parinoid at first I wont lie I still am lol, anyhow I would check on naga each morning before work, looked under her log hide to find she wasnt there!!! OMG panic set in, I imedietly went in to excuse mode I knew my boss wouldnt except my snake escaped and I have to find her as a valid excuse to get out of work.

after coming up with a excuse I began to look, I thought about all the care sheets and how they like warm places, The TV its near by the stand the cage is on. Guess im going to have to move the stand. so i start to take the 10 gallon tank down, removing the water dish so i dont get the substrate all wet. I lift it up and what do I find Naga all curled up under her water dish she had burrowed a tunnle from her hide lol.

anyhow that day after work i went out and got a 20 gallon long, a digital acurite thermometer and 2 small rock like hides. She hasnt burrowed since!!!!

i think the 10 gallon was just getting to hot with the UTH and light.

I was so glad to find her but man was my heart racing untill I did i was in a pure state of panic!!!!
