Angry so close - kicking myself!
I do not belive I did this, infact I'm going to blame the husband, I could not possibly have been so stupid
The kingsnake managed to get out of her viv, the lock was on, though it obviously wasn't locked else she couldn't have made the gap.
Came home, sat down and switched the telly on, saw movement out of the corner of my eye, and it was only the blooming king trying to force its way through the probe hole and into my youngest corns viv!
Thank god I noticed cos she was obviously intent on getting in there one way or the other!

Little at least you have fought it and all are ok. That's one way to look at it.

maybe she was thinking "more mice for me if HE goes!"

Glad you caught her in time to save a horrible mishap.

I had that happen about 15 years ago with a Mexican black. Unfortunately my hand tame Amazon Tree Boa was nor as fortunate as your corn.

That must be a nightmare! Not only losing one snake, but it eating another!

You were lucky April!
