Another Epic Fail

[Mommy2many]

My Florida Blue, Jesse, must love giving me a heart attack every year or so. Last year, some members may recall Jesse getting himself stuck in an aquarium decoration:

Last night, he decided to do it again. This time with a plastic circle thingy meant to hold together the plastic plants:

Turkey snake.... :)

Snakey wedged his head into a little hole that my teeny little nw babies usually stuff themselves into... I had no way of getting him out other than pulling on him. Luckily he wasn't hurt... Why do they seem to love squeezing into places they know they wont fit? Silly snakes.

They are certainly silly serpents...

I just installed some vines with those. I will be cutting them off immediately.
Timely post. Never gave it any thought.

Silly snakes. You would have hoped he learned his lesson last time.

Oh my God, how did you get him out of that?

[Mommy2many]

We had to gently pull the ring back over his head. He was very upset and not a happy camper. :)

I did the exact same thing. I'm going to get rid of my end circles too. Glad you got him out okay Le Ann. He is a real cutie!!!

With the loop being plastic if that hadn't worked it would be easy to carefully cut the loop to release the snake. But good to know you could get him out without too much of a struggle.

I've also got some vines that came with these hanging loops, and I lopped them off after I put them in the viv.

If you want to keep them usable.

Silly garter snakes, terrarium decor are for rabbits?

[indigoman]

Good idea! Stefan

[EasternGirl]

I noticed a shed in there too...was he trying to help get his shed off? I had to deal with another food fight yesterday with actual mouths locked! Scared the crap out of me...but luckily everyone seems unscathed. Garters sure keep us on our toes!!! Glad your snakie is okay!

[Mommy2many]

The shed was old. That is a very good idea, Stefan. As for cutting the loop, it was pretty tightly wedged down around him. It would have been difficut to cut it off with a snake who is freaking out and trying to bite!
