Houdini out again

[rosehaired1979]

Well his name is actually Mickey. The ball python got out again last night . 1st time Roy caught him. 2nd time Roy was in here in the comp. room and he made his escape. Anyone know any good things to try where he can't push the screen lid to open ? lol

what do you have him in? 10 gal tank 20 gal tank? if so http://www.thatpetplace.com/Product...rs/T1/R12CX+0047+0692/EDP/25332/Itemdy00.aspx those are WONDERFUL lids!! Be sure to buy the clips that go on the outside of the lid and snap them to the tank! Theres NO getting out of those!
I keep my kenyan sand boas in one of those heated rack systems. They are houdini reincarnated I swear! But that rack system stopped the escapes. (Kind of an expensive solution though )
That one place... (**whispers waalllmartttt) has some 10 gallon screen lids that have a handy locking mechanizm for 6 bucks... Worked to hold in my male blondi from hell.

Binder clips from Office Max or Staples work well, assuming you have a lip of some sort on the tank to clip them to.

useless reply, but my snakes name is Houdini, to me its a very fitting name for some of the same reasons
