this is proof that a corn who is 18 months old and about half inch thick can squeeze theu a 3 mm grab in the glass. i wanted to know how simon was escaping from his viv.so i put him back in from his faun and i sat there and he done nothing. i went away for 2 mins. (nature called) and came back and caught him in the act. last time he got out i had to rip all the boxing in of the radiator pipes to get him well enjoy ur last escape lil man coz from tomoz i will get paper binders on the glass.

this is why 8 isn't in his big boy viv yet was so paranoid about him escaping, like you falice my o/h thought i was just being paranoid! although i do check the lid and door on 8's faun at least twice aday :-) |

Glad you caught him in time! You'd never think they could squeeze through such a small gap  |

I went with the paper binders. No sticky bits, and looks quite nice...

we solve this type of escaping buy adding a strip of the soft velcro to each edge of viv glass like this
light will have guard tomorrow and the velcro stuff is on the outside  |

I agree, new snake owners would understandbly not expect them to be able to do that! |

Oh that must be me! It never ceases to amaze me how some threads go off at a tangent. First and foremost I never said or intimated in any way I didn't believe a snake couldn't get through a gap in the glass, I said a 2mm gap, a member simply asked a question regarding this matter, I asked if their viv was a Vivexotic as the glass gap on all mine is only 2mm and that it is impossible for a year old to get through a gap of that size, and it is. You bought up a 5mm gap we now have 3mm gap bought into it.
The smallest snake I have is only 27gms and of course always tries to escape through the 2mm, yes that's 2mm gap and simply can't because it's impossible. If I squashed a year olds snake to 2mm it would be a snake no more.

Lol squashed snakey!! Looks like he's trying to get to Ophelia lol!
btw Tordyjo, I hope you didn't think I didn't believe you on that other thread as I did, that's why I said I'd put a paper binder on mine lol!! |

I didn't doubt you in believing bluebird and spreebok, I know there were a few on that particular thread who thought it impossible.
the gap on my viv is 5mm with a 2.5cm overlap of glass, harry who was as chunky as my thumb managed to get himself through that gap, just lucky i got home when i did to see him in the process of trying to escape. |

Psiren did a great escape through a 2mm gap before, so I certainly believe you! |

I took a video of my 4 year old trying his VERY hardest to get his nose through the nonexistant gap in my vivexotic. Completely flattening his head to try squeeze through. Was interesting to watch! |
