Preggers temporary home

If the buckets smell, there's a risk that it will cause respiratory problems for the snake and any residual chemicals may also cause skin, eye and mucous membrane irritation, or worse. The ventilation holes seem barely sufficient for a completely odorless enclosure, but I'd make them bigger or add several more of them. Finally, there's all that tape. Somebody here lost several babies, was it last year, when they came in contact with tape and I've heard about others losing babies and seriously injuring adults by using tape on the inside of the enclosure.

the buckets don't smell they contained food product and i made sure to clean them out thoroughly and rinse them even better however i will make the vent holes bigger

on the tape subject was it the sticky part of the tape that they came in contact with ? if so i made sure that it was the backing of the tape that they can only come into contact with

i will only have her in there for another day or two i will be picking up the 10 gal on sunday

Good.

Yes, it was. And that's despite the keeper making sure that they couldn't come in contact with the sticky side. The snakes will hit the edge of the tape when they move along the walls and may gradually expose the sticky part, especially if they start rubbing against the walls. It's simply not safe to be used with live animals.
