Here's yet another picture of Morticia taken just a short while ago... only evidence of the whole duct tape experience is a damaged scale that can be seen on her first red band... the entire ordeal hasn't ruined her appetite as she just proved for me.

Second picture is of the cable ties I picked up at the hardware store the morning following the whole duct tape incident... I bought all 64 they had in stock... plants are now attached to enclosure walls with those cable ties and 5/8" screws... they will not come off no matter how big she gets!

Hey Gerry,

That is a great snake and I'm glad she is doing great after the tape incident.

I never got a chance to post before but don't feel too bad about it - we've all made mistakes in keeping snakes over the years. For me, my most recent blunder was about 3 months ago when I was cleaning cages and the doorbell rang and I failed to push the tub all the way back in the rack and boom - the snake crawled right out while I was answering the door! lol I did get lucky and my son found the snake in a closet about a week later!! ha ha

I am very pleased that it turned out well as well... the way she's crawling about my head and shoulders shows she's happy with the outcome as well... the tip of the tail poking into my temple isn't all that comfortable though.

Nice syspila post. That male is a fine looking little guy... next time you find yourself wanting to post some pics don't hold back for a week!
