    Quite a scare!

    I thought I would post under this topic because this relates to decorative pieces. So anyways there was quite a scare last night when I though little Lucy had escaped and or gone missing. I noticed she hadn't been out most of the day so before I went to bed I decided to check on her when I looked under her coconut and she wasnt there this is when I started to get worried and within about 5 minute I was in a panic. To make a long story short she mannaged to get inside of her branch, keep in mind that I looked there too but she found a little hidden cavern. I found her by filling the branch with water and flushing her out. So the morale of the story is always keep every little item under watch I could have looked in the branch and not have seen anything and have put it down where she then coud have really escaped. Atleast it has a happy ending.

    Glad it had a happy ending.

    What did you do to insure this doesn't happen again?

    Fill the area with something like packing peanuts or glue from a hot glue gun.
    Just an idea. It will allow you to continue using the item.

    That looks like an aquarium decoration... Be careful as next time she could get stuck. I fill small holes with a hot glue gun n bigger holes you could stuff with styrofoam n them hot glue it or use expanding foam. As well since these types of decorations are meant for fishes n not something that slides along it, be wary of sharp edges. Again hot glue fixes lots

    Good catch on that! I know I've bought a couple aquarium decorations for my snake, but have inspected them thoroughly(even the actual reptile ones), mostly because I saw one or two posts on here about accidents like that happening A couple things I've found rough edges on, and one decoration I need to fill in some holes with hot glue or something.

    could seal off the smaller part if you n her like the branch still. let her use the bigger part but be sure she cant get into a smaller spot.
