This is just getting stupid now -_-. My lovely KSB, who im now guessing is male, has repeatedly escaped and attempted escape, despite my actions. I have locks on the lid, the pressure metal clips. He got out. I put weight on lid AND used the clips, he got out. Now i find out that he got out while i was gone and went UP the rack to the gecko tank(thats a good 6ft climb) and was sitting on top. No way should he be able to do this, so my stepfather went ahead while i was gone and duck taped the bloody lid to the tank. Which seems to have worked, he just has to undo and redo it every time i get into the tank. My mom told me that hes been getting very active and antsy latley too, which is out of the norm. When i got home today from newyork the little bugger was hanging upside down from the lid, belly scales gripping the wire. YEAH. Fantastic.
My next solution will be a bigger tank, which may be a littl over due. I figured a 17" inactive snake with a tank full of substrate to dig in would be ok in the 10gal. I guessed wrong. Im going to look for something longer now. maybe a 20gal, or just a longer/shorter 10gal. Any ideas how i can keep him from scaling the silicone seal on the corners?
On the bright side, at least i know the little guy is healthy, though, im still weighting for a shed(been almost a year now) from the little pig(eats like a champ now a days). Also, could the season be effecting his attitude?
