Hmm... As you know Aia is now in her "big girl viv" 
But the problem is that she's such a money and keeps crawling in places she shouldn't and then falling down and landing in a nasty way  So the last couple of days I've been trying to find a way to keep her down, and she's just kept trying to win over my inventions...
# First I tried to put a small blocks in the sides so that she couldn't pull herself up... Didn't work. (liquorice boxes - look at third picture )
# Then I put half toilet rolls all the way... Didn't work, she kept pushing at them with her nose.
# So today I bought a roll (the kind you put on the bathroom pipes) - and I think It works
It doesn't look very pretty but she'll soon be to fat to crawl on the little edge

| If that doesn't work just lag your snake. It won't be able to climb and should it work out a way it won't hurt when it falls. |

Thanks guys 
She's had a couple of those nasty falls, and it's just not worth risking anything.
And I wont have to keep it in for so long, cause soon she'll be too big to crawl there - she already is, hence why she falls down |

please don't use any selotape or anything sticky in a snakes viv or around a snake. At best it can pull a few scales off, at worst it can cause some quite significant injuries to the snake :(
Just thought I'd give you a heads up :)
