How to put a snake up by Julius F Squeezer:
What you need is a soft baby blanket, a rocking chair and a fan. Turn on the fan and dim the lights. Cover the snake with the blanket and sit down with him in the rocking chair and slowly rock. If you can sing, sing a soft lulliby. Once you are certain he has fallen asleep, gently place him back into his cage and close the lid. If that doesn't work, use a snakehook, a tennis racket and many cuss words. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Seriously, how big is the snake and what size/type enclsoure is it in? If the snake has outgrown the cage, then yah...they can be a beast to stuff back into a too small cage. There shouldn't really be any huge problem though returning them to an appropriate sized cage. One thing to note about snake behaviour...if they are content, they don't appreciate change. They struggle not to be picked up because they are content where they are at the time. Once picked up, they usually quickly adjust to being held and become content. Then you try and put them down. They don't want to be put down....why? because they are content and snakes have virtually zero short term memory so they won't consider that they are going right back to where they were content a little while ago. Also, I have also noted what others have been saying about front opening cages. All of my snakes that live in top opening tanks, have to be coaxed to the bottom and the lid quickly replaced or they shoot right back out. All of my snakes in front opening cages, I just walk over to it and they go in by themselves. I can even leave the doors open on most (supervised of course) very rarely does one even try to come out...except Max the 12 foot burm...he doesn't much like his cage.
