YIKES! I just went into my bedroom, and I notice right off that Carmella my Eastern Milk snake, the proud mom of my eggs, was hanging upside down and appeared lifeless, belly up wedged into the lid of her tote.

She looked just like someone latched her down that way, when I first opened it up I was panic stricken!! She was limp, didn't move, oh crap Carmella why did you do this??

Suddenly she lifts up her head and starts flicking her tongue at me

From what I could tell, apparently she was trying to escape, and had flattened down to try and squeeze between the lid and the latch, made it as far as her lungs, and then could not breathe! Fortunately my timing was right on, she got some much needed oxygen and is doing fine.

And even after all that, this snake has yet to bite or musk me??

Off to the Home depot, this tote ain't gonna work!

Carmella is getting a nice enclosure with no "squeeze points" to ensure that she does not do this again, and maybe while I'm not around to save her stupid butt!

BAD SNAKE!!!!
