I will say no more beyond pointing out the link below came in very handy and I am damn lucky my female poly isn't dead.
I lied... I will say more. The plastic plants I bought to dress up the enclosures came with suction cups to keep them in place but those suction cups don't hold up under the weight of an 18 month old snake... so I used a 4" or so length of duct tape to hold them up.
When I came home today the female poly had apparently been cruising about the enclosure as is her want and while crawling through a plant the duct tape failed under her weight...
Long story short... when I came home her head was totally encased in the duct tape! If I had gone about intentionally trying to seal her head in the tape I could not have done a better job than she had managed on her own.
After nearly an hour of very painstakingly slow pulling the tape is off and thankfully no harm seems to have been done
Stupid, stupid, stupid is the chant reverberating through my head... hopefully it will fade away.
Boys and girls... do not ever think using duct tape inside a snake enclosure is a good idea... trust me, it is not!
