You know, your right, that plastic is tough, and does not break easily... Unless you don't want it to.

I usually try not advertise my own stupidity, but..

Well I have a similar *duh* moment with my Radix Rosa. I let my daughter sit with her in the bathtub for a bit and completely forgot about the mesh "beach bag" there with the pool toys. Jess let out a yell and I came in to find Rosa had squiggled through the mesh up to the point where she could no longer move. I tried to gently move her back, but she was not going for it without force. I had to get some scissors and carefully stretch and cut the mesh around her body until I created a hole big enough to gently pull her through. Needles to say, the mesh bag is gone (Pool season is over anyway!)

I started thinking about what I might do if I had a snake snuck somewhere like that. Would it be safe to pour something like olive oil on the snake to help in wiggling it out? I guess you'd have to clean the snake off with paper towels or something after, but at least it would be out.

lol actually i've gotten a brown snake that got really stuck in a hole that was quite sharp and rough.... so i slathered him in butter and he came right out lol then he got a bath

Wasn't it kind of hard to get the grease off? It would come off easily with hot water and/or soap, but can't imagine either of those being good for a snake.

[Snake lover 3-25]

yeah..... but i just put him in water(cool/luke warm) and wiped it off with paper towel..... but NEVER EVER put a snake in ANY kind of hot water.... it WILL kill them.

And this brings us to the end of our latest installment on snake first aid...
