Baby snake lost in a house with dogs and cats

Not stuck, just being an annoying little kid! At least you know exactly where he is, and after 5 days from the last meal put a brained pinky on a deli lid, he will get hungry and smell dinner and come running. Then take the log, get a bat, go to town on the log, clean up, go to the bathroom and recycle some toilet paper tubes. Much easier to get them out of!
 
I wouldn't worry about it. He will come out when he is ready. Definitely don't use a glue gun. Maybe you could jam some play-doh or something in there.
 
I jammed some tissue/papertowels up in one of mine that had a problem like that. It's worked so far :)
 
Final update: I got him out! He moved himself back to the end of the log that is not as deep and easier to see, so I decided to try to get him out. I used a bed paper clip (bent so the pokey ends wouldn't poke him) and poked that through the tiny hold you can see in one of my pics where you can just barely see his scales. The hole is at the bottom of the log, so when I poked him he moved away from it and towards the mouth of the log. Then I used the other end of the paper clip like a tiny snake hook and looped it around his middle section and pulled him out. Took me a few tries, but it ended up working.

I made sure his tank has plenty more tiny hides in it that are easy to find him in, so he's hiding in one of those now and I'll leave him be for a while since I so rudely took him out of his favorite spot.

So, what's his name? :)

I still haven't decided. I'm down to 4 names, and I'm having a hard time picking one of the four. The four are:

Oaxaca (wah-hock-uh) with nickname "xaca" (haka)
Aztec
Tikal (tee-kahl)
Teotihuacan (tay-oh-tee-hwah-con) with nickname Teoti (tay-oh-tee)

I always associate snakes with aztec and mayan culture, so I want a name involving that. I really like names in the Nahuatl language, but they're usually quite a mouthful :)
 
You have to be careful with the non-snake specific stuff. Aquarium décor and stuff have too tight a holes and hiding places in a lot of them. Dremel the holes bigger, or fill them.
 
when he's ready to come out he will. To say that a snake "Is Stuck" is a bit of a mis-statement. Snakes, especially baby ones, can get in and out of some pretty tight spaces.
