HE WAS LIKE A NINJA - UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT!

WE DID NOT HEAR OR SEE ONE SIGN THAT HE WAS STILL IN THE HOUSE UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT - 8/25 - WHEN SOMETHING WAS KNOCKED OVER IN ANOTHER ROOM WHEN MOST OF THE HOUSE WAS DARK. I SEARCHED THE ROOM, BUT COULDN'T EVEN FIND WHAT HAD BEEN KNOCKED OVER, MUCH LESS ANY TRACE OF HAPPY FACE (HE HAS A PERFECT HAPPY FACE ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD). THE NEXT EVENING WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I ARRIVED HOME, HE HAD TRIED TO WEDGE HIMSELF BETWEEN THE BATHROOM CABINET AND THE WALL WHERE THERE IS A VERY SMALL HOLE UP UNDER THE CABINET. BEING SUCH A HUGE SNAKE, HE COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY IN, SO HIS TAIL WAS STICKING OUT. WE TURNED OUT THE LIGHT AND HE BACKED OUT AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF TRYING TO WEDGE HIMSELF ALL THE WAY IN TO NO AVAIL.

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY WE FOUND HIM. THERE IS ONE THING I HAVE FOUND THAT WILL TEMPORARILY WORK TO KEEP HIM IN THE CAGE - I DUCT TAPED THE LID. THERE IS NO WAY HE IS GOING ROAMING AGAIN. IT IS A PAIN TO REMOVE EACH DAY AND REAPPLY, BUT I AM GOING TO A REPTILE SHOW ON SATURDAY AND BUYING A CAGE WITH SLIDING FRONT DOORS THAT WILL LOCK - SO IT IS A VERY TEMPORARY BUT VERY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE - IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE HE ONLY MADE ONE SOUND IN TWO WEEKS - HE IS A HUGE SNAKE. I BELIEVE HE WAS UNDER THE CABINETS FOR THE MOST PART, BECAUSE SEVERAL TIMES MY CATS WENT CRAZY TRYING TO GET INTO THE CABINETS - BUT HE WASN'T ACTUALLY INSIDE WITH THE DISHES, ETC. - I REMOVED MANY THINGS MANY TIMES OVER THAT TWO WEEK PERIOD. BECAUSE OF THIS FORUM ALONE, I NEVER GAVE UP HOPE - AND THAT IS ALSO MY MESSAGE TO ANYONE WITH A MISSING SNAKE!
