| Loki has had one of the coconut shells from being a hatchling and he was always sticking his head through the hole at the top. He's now a large yearling and no longer tries this. |

My little king used to do that, until she nearly got stuck. Gmac I had the brilliant idea of sewing 2 buttons together on either side of the hole once she got a little bigger, just in case.
Once the snake was clearly to big, off the buttons came. |

| I don't know if I'm being stupid but can you buy a coconut and then use it's shell straight away, or do you have to treat it? (sorry if it's a stupid question) |

i had a horrible time wiggling a rubber toddlers stacker-toy (donut shaped) off a snake the other evening- she went through the toybox- idiot me goes " ha ha obstacle course" then- box starts shaking cos she was trying to curl herself ut of it backwards and i think didnt have enough room, but i couldnt see under the other toys- I got her out and had instant kittens- thenhad to hold her still cos she was trying to wriggle out and it looked like it was making it worse it waS truly HORBLE i thought my negligence had caused all sorts of disasters when i finally got the damn thing off her i nearly threw up with the relief.
i don't have a coconut shell hide for the tiddler, but i think the 'better safe thsn sorry' philosophy is a good one |
and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

| Man, similar one here. When I first got lister, I'd widened the little ircular holes ever so slightly to fit the probe through, and it was a little jagged. Came up one evening to find him, head poking out, very much stuck. Kittens were had, and once he was out (I had to squeeze his head) he had a big dig on his head which took 4 sheds to come out, and he still has a dent there xD; |

I've had to nearly get the grease to rescue Venom. I've had to rescue from tolite tubes, the largest snake cave hole and clothes that I put in for the whole "he'll get used to you scent" stuff. He managed to find some loose fibers and decided to make a hole in them :/
The top holes I just filled with bluetac with coconuts as I worried that babies maybe as stupid as their dad. |
