1ST OFF this was not done on purpose. this was a my fault however cause i could have prevented it. well i woke up this mourning and started pulling tubs from the rack that i keep my gecko's in. 1st i feed the hatchling in bin 1. then i was going to feed my male juvie poss giant. i notice his lid to his hide is off,then i notice his tail is missining. then i notice a fat kenyan sand boa laying next to his hide. at this point i am freakin out.how did she get into his enclosure? how did she.... man i am still puzzeled and shocked. in my reotile room i have my gecko's and my boas in there own enclosures, my kenyans have 10 gal aquariums w/ locking lids. every night i mist and check the heat. this female like most other sand boas is a picky eater. i tried feeding f/t and live mice well she ate a live mouse just 2 days ago. this locking lid on my 10 gal is in the trash and my kenyan is in a small kritter keeper now. she ate my leo's tail now she is in jail. man i feel bad this just sucks.just goes to show u snake owners u think u have you're snake's locked up tight but they show u differint she must have climed up the breeder rack to the 3erd leval and squeezed through some how and ..? i could bareley fit my index finger in there. well i thought i would share my mistake,:eek:

Good thing it was just a tail and not a leo. I don't own any snakes but I have heard many say that you'd be suprised at what they can fit through. My hatchling racks have only enough space for a penny to slide through. Depending on the size of your snake I would say an "index fingers space" is enough for a lot of small snakes to fit through.

I'd be placing 5lbs rocks (or something similar) on top those snake cages from now on. Just a suggestion.

You are very lucky! My corn snakes (adults) can fit through a 1/2 inch gap in the sliding glass doors of their cage, I would hate it if one escaped and got into my leos housing, luckilly the leos housing is mounted 4 foot off of the ground on the wall!
