So this is how they do it

Just sprayed the enclosure and she started to climb. The water helped create a suction and she made it up to the top. I've been tying the top down ever since losing another one a few yrs. ago

Yep!,......many a snake has been lost that way from people assuming the enclosure is too tall for a snake to climb. Also, good climbers like ratsnakes, etc...can crawl up the aquarium corners that have silicone sealant for leak proofing/connecting the corners even when dry, or just after crawling out of their water bowls. They wrikle-up and undulate up with no problem at all.

Thanks for the reply. I was pretty surprised, she just stuck to the side. I am wondering about her inability to consume F/T medium sized anoles. She is 12 inches long and regurgitates after swallowing it 1/2 way.
