Hello all!

My 09 Mexi Black, Gomez, is currently housed in a two foot viv. I've just got very paranoid that he might be able to fit through the wee gap in the sliding glass doors. Is that possible? If so how can I tighten/fill the gap until he fills out a little more?

He definitely could- I've got a picture somewhere of Jally as an hatchling escaping through the gap- I'll have to find it.

What we did was fit a piece of plastic to one of the doors to fill the space. But a bit of card wedged in should work too.

i have an adult corn that escaped through a gap the width of some electrical flex..... my own fault for being lazy and not installing the new heatmat properly!!

Kaz's idea of a bit of card wedged in the gap should work

Kings are strong snakes, remember, so make sure he doesn't push it out of the way.
