Also, just HOW crooked is this house that you couldn't prop the cage up to make it level on a table? You see, I view your "crooked house" as an excuse for a mistake that probably had nothing to do with the crookedness of the enclosure.

Maybe you had a brick on the top, and the slant of your house prevented it from stopping your bp, or perhaps you just don't want to admit you screwed up somewhere and forgot to lock it, and rather think that the crooked house is a more valid excuse.

Most enclosure don't depend on being level to be secure. Get where I'm going with this?

If that's the case, I don't think you need to lie to anyone here. There are posts made every week about lost BP's and snakes. Your not alone, MANY people have lost their snakes because of forgetfullness, a loose screen top, or sometimes people don't even know HOW the animal got out. But they are honest, and they receive loads of help, with many people finding their animals within days.

So yes, I may be beating the dead horse, but I don't buy the excuse of a crooked house. It makes no sense to me at all, I can't possibly imagine how it could affect the security of the enclosure, if the enclosure was properly secured in the first place.


So, off my soap box.

What are you housing the blood in? (tank, tub, reptile cage?)
Is it completely secure? How did you secure it?
What's the temps, humidity?
How are you heating it etc...

I don't want to hear a sad story a few months from now, so please, I would like to understand whats actually going on, so that we may better help you to offer the best for your new snake.
Wow wasn't this one of my first questions that wasn't answered? Hm.
Everything Connie has asked her is wonderful information and she has spoken for my mind. Amen to that.
