My mistake was using plexi that wasnt thick enough. I was so in tune with them cutting the plexi the right size, I didnt realize how flexible the thin sheets are. You can have a million clips and they will still bend it.

The same thing happened to us when we made a new viv for our snakes. It happened well over a year ago, we lost 3, 2 corns and a milk. During the first week found cat trying to get up his nerve to attack a corn, saved corn no scratches, 6 months later my dog found the Milk, twice the size he was when he went missing and survived the measly Texas winter. He was very unhappy with my dog. Maybe he found the other missing corn????

OMG do you think thats why he was twice his size? Wow.

Im so sorry about your corn, but its nice to hear someone else made the same mistake, cause I felt real stupid. But when you build your own vivs, you really dont know anything until you put it together, and throw them in there. If it isnt a good set up, they will tell you somehow.

We did feel stupid but, like you said it is the way we learn. I love the end product, even though I need to make some more adjustments to it. I have 2 really big spots, one I have a ball Python in because he can's squeeze through, and the other isn't being used but I can put a shelf in the space and make it into 2 new homes for 2 new critters after I put the plexi in.
 
So happy you found her! And yep, I can relate also. My husband got a hatchling milksnake a few weeks ago and the little guy loves to burrow. Well on a Friday night he was out climbing around on his branches and I think..oohh..good photo op. So I take pics of him through the glass and then on the Sunday after that my hubby goes to feed him and he is gone! Poor hubby..and snake..so we tear the house upside down looking for him. We also have 5 dogs, two of which are greyhounds (retired racers) and I'm thinking they could definitely catch him. Such a horrible feeling. Well to make a long story short I found him 4 days later in the powder room! The vanity in that room was the one place I couldn't look behind. So, the little milksnake, who's name as been changed to Houdini, is going to be going into my ball pythons enclosure and my ball is getting a new viv that my husband built for her which is just like our sons ball python has.
Once again I'm very happy you found her, it really is a very sickening feeling not knowing what has happened to them.
