G'day all.
Well there's a lesson learned. Luckily, not expensive emotionally or financially. Monty's tank is 60 × 60 × 120 cm. Glass panels on top, with holes cut out for ventilation and to lift the glass. I can't fit my thumb through the holes, so I figured they'd be safe. He was only 6 months old when I got him, and couldn't quite reach the lid. He's 10 months old now and grown quite a bit in length and girth. I went out a couple of days ago, and came back to find him on the lounge room floor. Apparently, he figured out he could fit through the hole. I now have to partially block the holes whenever I leave the house. Damn, I'm finding out a lot about snake behavior.
