While checking the snakes today I discovered one of them missing! It was one of the new house snakes still in her flip top box for her quarantine, and very luckily I found her three feet away curled up under some clothes next to the radiator all nice and warm.

Braplast flip top boxes get a huge thumbs down from me after this!

I was considering using them for hatchies this year after having an escapee from a cricket tub but I'm going to have to have a rethink.

nice one on the capture , I have a few braplast boxes but I wouldn't use them for housing any of the snakes but just for feeding, as the I think the lid comes very loose very easily

Im not sure what make they were but I had a couple of flip top boxes for Peanut and Carmellia when I got them and I put heavy books on either end to weigh them down as they seemed to lift up very easily

Glad you found her ok, bet that got your heart going. Lol.

Was a good thing you found out those boxes aren't suitable before you put a load of hatching corns in them.
