I've been pretty lucky with the snakes so far! Deejay got out when I first bought her the small terrarium, because I underestimated how small she was, and she wormed her way out the air vents at the top, but she didn't go anywhere; I found her hanging out on the top screen having a look at the world. Taped up all those holes for a few months after that!!
The only other time one escaped was my own dumb fault. Dojo (Deejay's mom) was kept in a tank with just a screen top that I put a rock on top of to hold it down. Well, silly me changed the water and for some reason just wandered off, leaving the top completely off.........oops!
But Dojo too stayed pretty much nearby, there was a desk lamp on the table next to her tank and I found her curled up around the base of the lamp, sunning herself and looking very pleased about the whole thing!
