Oh I considered that, the back of the tape is covered by cardboard, and its on the upper corner of the hide facing down. the intention was for her to go through the tube and hide under the tissue box, I made slits in the top too small for her to fit through but large enough for air to come in and out. However she seems to prefer to just crawl under it... which is fine by me... its only temporary. I'm going to pick up some of that waterproofing agent tomorrow at home depot and see about making her something more sturdy. I have an idea in mind. with any luck my years of screwing around with modeling clay will do me some good.

Also bear in mind I haven't gone 5 minutes without checking on her. I keep worrying that she'll get caught in something... In fact I had a scare this morning since she was half under the box and being quite still, of course as soon as I opened the lid she quickly vanished under it. I guess she likes my cheep adhoc canopy.

Really the only thing that bothers me is that she occasionally nudges against the glass in an attempt to escape. the tank is much larger than her, but its still a very small tank.. I just hope she's not feeling claustrophobic. If its even possible for a snake to have a phobia...
