So, I have my 09 Ember probable Het Hypo female in a nice adult Vision rack. I really like the Vision racks, and have never had any issues with them.....
So I put my male Ember Het Hypo in with the female Ember probable Het Hypo, and did not think much about it. A few minutes later, there was some thrashing around in the tub, it was her first introduction ever, and the first time she had seen another snake in a couple of years, and the little scuffle is something I am used to hearing every once in awhile when introducing a male and female. It died down after a few minutes, and I did not think anything about it until today. I saw that something was not quite right in the snake room, a box was not sitting the way it usually is...so I began to look around. I found the male Ember sitting in the Vision rack tub, that was wide open(8" gap)! So, the only thing I can think of is, the snakes must have started up their scuffle again, and in the process, opened the tub. There was spilled water, I am not sure if this could have helped them open the tub or hurt their chances. I was surprised to see the male still in the wide open tub, but the female was nowhere to be seen. An hour later, I found her safe and sound. So, those of you with Vision racks, have you ever had this happen, or have you had snakes open tubs with other racks? I am 100% sure I did not leave the tub open! The snake that escaped was the snake in the middle of this pic.

Have you been hugged by your snake today?
