Comment on Can ball pythons flatten their bodies to get out of enclosures? by Lance

Again a couple of 13 year old kids answer a question they know nothing about. Even go so far as to be mildly insulting to the asker as they spew B.S. Anyway, Ball Pythons are very crafty when i comes to escaping and YES they are extremely flexible animals. They are adapted to flex and move to allow large food to be swallowed whole. Mine has escaped from spaces so small that its hard to believe and once actually damaged his scales a little bit because he squeezed so tight. It is your responsibility as a reptile owner to make sure the cage is sealed well enough that they cant escape or hurt themselves trying. (I dropped the ball on this one). As a rule, and no matter what anyone else tells you, If the snakes head can fit through the opening its body will be able to follow. I know what it sounds like because Ball Pythons are so fat but ive witnessed it first hand. Sure up your cage. Your snake likely spends a few hours a night testing it for weak points(Its a thing most Ball Pythons do).
All of this information can be found online and in a variety of good books about keeping snakes.
Most of the other answers you been given can only be found in the minds and hearts of children.

I don’t know what Robby is talking about, but yes they can flatten themselves quite a bit, they’re essentially just mouthes, stomach, skin and a few bones. As long as the opening is smaller than his bones, he won’t be able to get out. I used to be a snake-handler, so yes even large snakes can flatten out enough to get under 1/4 inch opening. Depends size, head etc.

This is assuming he WANTS to get out. Believe it or not, snakes like dark tight spaces, it gives them a feeling of security. That’s why snake pits tend to be small and just FILLED with snakes.

They can not but they have been known to try and force there way through (there pretty strong) they might not get though but they can get stuck or hurt themselves so I would try and fix it as soon as possible.

Comment on What happens if my sub enclosure is too small? by Joe S

You won’t get as much power as you could with the recommended size. Just think, the air in a smaller box won’t have enough space to move but if the box is too big, it will have too much space and you will lose power. The sound will dissipate.
This is why you get recommended sizes so you can get the correct flow of air without restricting or drowning out the sound waves.

Low frequencies will need the space so with a smaller box, the lows won’t be as good

it would move the response curve up on the frequency scale. it wont get as good of low bass and may resonate at higher frequencies but i wouldn’t know for sure. it would still work for sure but its not likely to sound very good unless you mod it to compensate.

OK Darkside has it backwards, Sealed boxes are smaller. Ported boxes are bigger. What your going to notice as far as sound, is certain bass frequencies wont be heard. so your going to notice, maybe not enough low bass or just to much low bass and not enough tight bass. try to get it as close as possible to air space. it make a whole lot of difference. trust me

it won’t do anything.. It just wont give you the full potient of the sub power. It’ll still hit hard. Its all depend too.. if its a seal or a ported box.. usually a seal box will recommend a bigger enclosure, a ported box doens’t recomment a that big of a enclosure..
