Does it seem at the moment that alot of snakes seem to be escaping or getting out. I was just wondering if there is any other ideas you guys have to stop this happening so much as it seems that every otherday a corn or a snake has gotten out. Is there a way that some how there could be maybe a sticky made somwhere to suggest the best ways of keeping your snakey tucked up in there vivs, ideas on viv security or somthing like that.

A few tips maybe:
Make sure lids or doors are shut securely and tight
Make sure there is no holes in you viv/funarium i.e where stat cables go through
Make sure that joins in you'r vivs are correctly and properly sealed
If you have a vivarium with glass sliding doors put cardbored between the glass so there is no gap
Where air vents are check them maybe weekly just to make sure there still tight and secure

REMEMBER: Where the snake can get there head means there body will follow
I know some of these may seem a bit far, what would you prefere a 5-10 check or the RISK or not having your snake anymore
There just a few things i can think of off of the top head

when they are big enough to go into a viv a lock is a must. I've seen snakes push against the sliding glass doors and once they get a small gap the head and body do the rest! So get a lock...
