For plugging the larger hole I had to make in my faunarium(to accommodate the stat probe. It's plugged with tissue just now but I'm fairly certain if the little guy figures it put he could dislodge it easily!! Surely blu- tac could be used to plug the hole??

Thanks,
Adam

That's only any good if the snake is not in there though Redshift as it would have to be left for 48 hrs to dry. If the snake isn't there yet that or a hot glue gun would be the most secure way to block it I'd have thought.

I'd avoid tissue, I plugged the hole with it when I first got Lister, she managed to push it out and get her head stuck!
