My son wanted a snake, and so I bought him a boa. I would say, eh, close to the size you currently own. Anyhow, my son let him out of the cage, low and behold he crawled under the door. Mind you, it was closed! That small of a space! They are extremely and I do mean extremely hard to keep in anything that has any space where they might crawl out.

We ended up having to call animal control. It was a nightmare. After a long talk with my son we as a family decided snakes just wasnt for us. We have big lake by our house so we went out on the boat and let him free in the middle of it. I haven't seen him as of yet, but im sure hes out there living somewhere.

Glad I could help!

I'm just guessing, but it would probably have to be able to fit it's head through-the rest is pretty compressable.

Just put an extra rock or two on the top of its cage so it can't lift off the top.

A 1-2" space and unfortunately I'm not kidding. Put something that weighs about 10 pounds on top of the screen lid and it won't be able to get out as long as the screen lid is tight fitting. Be sure to feed the snake well also because well fed snakes don't tend to escape as much.
