She is using one of those exo terra terrariums... which I failed to mention before (and I apologize for not having done so) that I used one myself until the two amelanistic radiated rat snake babies I had in there dissapeared. I never found either of them That tanks sits in my basement un-used until this day. My advice would be to keep them in a smaller tank until they are large enough to where thres no way they will be able to fit through the grooves in that black part that lines the doors at the front. That's where they get out even though it does not look passable.

I really hope your baby turns up soon, don't give up hope! I too have had a snake turn up before I even knew it was missing.

Could you show exactly where they can get out?

I'm sure I made the right decision not buying an exo terra. It seems that a lot of people have had snakes escape from those.

Sorry to hear that. I know how it feels. You could give bottle traps a go.

ive got the other girl in a cornsnake hatchling tub at the moment its plenty big enough but i dont want her in there for too long im going to get her into a starter tank tomorrow.

So sorry to hear that, Jade. As Esther pointed out, these tiny guys can hide in the most unlikely places... are you absolutely sure she's out?
I really hope you find her..... try bait... she's a great little feeder.

IMHO, and experience they CANNOT get out the front of the tank. However if you are keeping babies in an ExoTerra tank you must spend about 10 minutes securing the back. Now that I know how to do this I have never lost a snake in one. Course I learned the hard way.

The short, the terrariums are meant for larger critters.
