So I'm sat in bed last night watching telly, fully aware that Ember's out and about and hungry (as it's feeding day tomorrow and I put her through a fast last week) when I hear a kind of plastic rustling. I know she's curled up around the light guard which she likes to do, and has her head at the back near the upper corner with the hole for the leads where I've placed some cellotape over the rest of the hole just to cover it a bit.
I know what's going on but leave her to it, thinking she won't accomplish it as her head will be too big or she'll just be too fat.
Before I go to sleep I check on her, just in case as I tend to lay there sometimes convincing myself she's going to get out of her tank lol. To my lack of surprise she's only gone and got her head out of the hole, about an inch of her body's hanging out and I shoo her back in and promptly cover it up with a plaster to cut out the light and, hopefully, the temptation.
Sneaky little bleeder lol.
In other news I keep dreaming about snakes, mostly about hatchlings or Ember having some but they always seem to be live young. Strange I know, I can't escape the snakes! lol. |

might be a better idea to use scrunched up paper or something to plug the gap - tape/plasters and snakes arent generally a good combination!
but really glad you decided to check on her though - who knows where she could have ended up!! |

| I think I may but a bit of cotton in it with tape over it (on the outside) to hold it in? I'm not sure how else to do it really, her head's just small enough to get out lol. |

| I had a hole in my RUB i burnt too large accidentally, I rammed it full of newspaper and taped it on the outside, I folded the paper oover the paper in the gap, if it makes sense. |

I like your damp tissue idea Danny. Didn't the moisture soak into the wood though?
I just used one of those sucker pads that came with digital thermometer to plug one of the holes in mine. the other one has the stems of plastic plants pushed through and bent over on the back so they cant fall/be pushed out. |

| Ah. I may have to do that also lol. I'm going to be cleaning out and sprucing up Embers viv so I may have to add some more plants to utilise that method lol. |
