Snake Drama

Somehow this morning between my morning check and coming back to clean her cage, baby Star wrapped herself around the temperature gauge in her tank, pulled it off, and got herself stuck to the adhesive.

Thank goodness for a Facebook post a few weeks ago that taught me to use coconut oil to remove snakes from sticky rat traps. 


I used Shed Aid with no success and then coconut oil which was successful. I had olive oil in reserve just in case. It took a few minutes to work her skin free and, though it was stretched out, it did not rip.  


Phew! Thank you Facebook!
