Good story, and ALL things I can relate to!..LOL!



Small snakes use the "gummy" texture of the silicone in the corners of aquariums, and they EASILY "shimmy" up the corner with their muscular contractions. They grip to this with amazing precision.



Snakes are definitely "escape artists",...AREN'T THEY!!..LOL!



They will find ANY breach whatsoever in a cage in quick order, so I always tell folks,...if there's even the slightest crack, or whole you think it MIGHT be able to escape from,........it probably WILL!





Glad you found it again,....just try to learn from it,......the next time, you probably won't be so lucky, this is a very common mistake people make,........NEVER under-estimate the escaping skills of a snake!..LOL!



Good luck with the little guy!





best regards, ~Doug
