Are you joking? I would go into a detail discussion and try to help you but this has to be a joke. How the heck does your snake escape 3 times prior to this? After the 1st time you should have escape proofed everything in the tank and after the 2nd time you should have escaped proof the tank and the tank perimeter. Also tieing a pink to the vents wont help anything but confuse the poor snake since the air is flowing around the room actively. Please tell me this is a joke though or not so I can help you.

No really i did escape proof the tank with tape which he kept gettin stuck to. Then the tape must have lost all stickiness and he found a path through. Please help
