Never,ever,ever, EVER, stick a female royal you have just picked up in a petpal, they are secure enough for inverts it seems but if a royal decides to push against the little hatch in the lid it tends to pop out, great when you get back from driving 2 hours to pick the snake up and find an empty tub.

Ended up unscrewing half the dash to find her curled up all nice and warm behind the multi changer, not even sure how the hell she managed to fit behind there, and she didnt seem bothered at all.

Just weighed her and she is 1400g Cool

Pics of the new lovely female now I have stopped pulling my hair out:
