On one of the times I mentioned it happening to me earlier, I actually "WITNESSED" it crawling back into the mouth of it's shed, then it got trapped at the end around the cloaca vent, and was obviously panicking a bit because it could not escape because it ventured too far in at this point, and the tight shed had him trapped as well, as it could not back-up either..LOL!



That is when I ripped the cloaca part of the shed, and some of the rest of it, and pulled it out myself. I think it could have easily become overwhelmed with it's own carbon dioxide from it's own breath in the extremely tight quarters. It would be similar to a small child suffocating in a large cellophane bag.



Weird, but true!
