    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Pulled gently from above, pushed gently from below and wiggled the snake side to side, basically getting one rib free at a time. No harm done whatsoever. Not a single lost or ruffled scale, no broken ribs and no lost appetite. Had the snake been half a millimeter thinner, it would have gotten through and had it been half a millimeter thicker, it would have lost at the very least some scales.

    Good save. Was it hot glue time for those holes or the trash can for the unit?

    So you just said "screw it"
    I see those are the "nuts and bolts" of the repair

    Sorry for the bad hardware humor.

    Wow, that snake doesn't even look as small as this dekayi. Glad you got it free, unscathed.
