Went into my snake room this morning to turn the light on and open the blind and wondered why the insulating boards I have on the window sill had moved outwards, lifted the front 2 up to find a small and slightly offended female royal curled up all cozy!! The window sill is directly over the radiator which was on and just nice and warm, she was very happy until she was put back into her tub which happens to be about 4 foot higher than the radiator so she had a serious adventure climbing down to the radiator, just glad she didn't disappear down the hole in the floorboards where the skirting was removed to install the hatchling rack, also glad she didn't push her way into the geckos tub and have a light snack Shocked Laughing

Checked in on my female Delta who has become a water python for the last 2 weeks, and she obviously managed to drag herself out of the water tub long enough to shed, so hopefully in about 30 days I should be seeing some eggs!!!! Very Happy Will try and get some pics of the big sulky lump tomorrow and post up Laughing

amusing how they manage to get out and then climb to where ever it is there are going, specially as they are not very good climbers Wink

Nice find Claire, I can't say I've had any escape for a long time but I do sometimes leave tubs open Embarassed The dog was barking like mad last summer, was a nice lesser exploring the hall way Embarassed Laughing

Cannot remember where I read this, on one of the Royal sites Rolling Eyes but apparently whilst Spiders are known for eating, Pieds are known for NOT eating Crying or Very sad
