Scary Moment

[guidofatherof5]

Yesterday I built a new enclosure. It's another one of those 6'X2'X2'. With this one I put two partitions in it making it a triple enclosure. At one end I moved my water snakes. The center section I decided to put my new Mexican Black King. In the other end I put a group of babies from last year. I hadn't placed the King in it's enclosure yet but had it open while I put baby radixes in. Little did I know but during the transfer of babies one of them slipped into the King's enclosure. About 15 minutes after placing the King in it's enclosure I walked by to check on everyone. The King snake was in the process of swallowing the little radix. I was able to rescue the little one and she seem fine. Checking on her this morning she's operating normally.
I guess the King snake was just doing its thing. I'm glad I was there to save the little one.

You're sure you don't have any gaps in the enclosure big enough for a radix?

I checked it over about 20 times and couldn't find anything. I am keeping an eye on it though.

I'm curious to hear how you snatched her out of the jaws of death. Feel free to embellish- I don't know Steve your rowdy Radix sure get into the sticky situations. Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!

I simply opened my hand and said "spit it out".

The truth would be more like I opened the King snakes mouth wide enough to release any teeth and then pulled the little radix out. Nothing to it.
