Hmmm...she’s stuck eh? No way you could pull her out? I know if you pull her out backwards, her scales might get caught, but maybe you could be extra careful and do it slowly. If not, you might just have to cut it off of her with some metal snips or something. Good luck. And be careful next time, lol.

Very carefully try pulling her forward. Never pull a snake backward because they will try to resist and that can injury the snake. I have had lots of success pulling them gently forward to get them out of tight places such as the brake drum of a truck.

 Help!!!!

At midnight last night we figured that we might have to cut her out. My daughter had been trying to coaks her out. Unfortunately I don’t have snips. We are on the West Coast, still early here, we will be venturing to Home Depot after getting my son to school.

Thanks for the help, we were hoping she’d just sqweeze her own way out. I think if she really tried she could flatten herself enough to do it (don’t know if they can do that).

We will keep you updated.
