maybe you should get some clips for the cages so you dont have to worry about the books?

lol if you had clips you would forget them too. i have had two snakes get out last year. same reason i just underestimated them both but i havent made that mistake again. i had my bullsnake push up the screen on a homemade top and i forgot to put the clips on my snakes cage

I have the opposite problem. I had 2 female ball pythons in a sliding screen top cage awhile back...fed them...put them back...got distracted with another snake and forgot to put the top on their cage. I didn't notice the top off for 3 days! But when I flipped up their hides, I found both snakes still in the cage lol.

At my old place, I left the snakeroom closet cracked open and left some clutter on the floor so when a snake got out, they would usually go there to hide and I could easily find them. One day, I noticed my really big Tiger ratsnake was out. I went to the closet...light was dim but I could see enough. I started pulling out the clutter looking for him. As I was tossing stuff out of the closet, I grabbed a hand full of snake that was much smaller than the tiger rat and all I could tell in the dim light was that it was orange. That's probably the fastest I had ever dropped a snake and jumped back. Luckily it was just a cornsnake and not a copperhead lol. All my coppers were present and accounted for. I did a quick head count and then resumed breathing.
