Gerry I know exactly what you mean!!! I am glad you got your animal back. Lucky.I have only had one escapee up until a month ago. Of course the first one happened while I was out in CA and my inlaws were staying in my basement. (where snake room is) Anyway, I too was feeding and turned around to get a pink for one of my baby eastern kings. I closed the cage after placing the pink on the feeding surface, assuming the snake was still in its humid hide where it was when I opened the drawer. Well, two days later I was walking to my snake room and low and behold there she was coiled up next to a shoe at the snake room door. WTF!!! She had zoomed out of her tub in the seconds I turned my back. I was lucky to find her for sure, seeing I had no idea she was out. The other animal (highly prized zonata at that) was caught and placed into a temporary enclosure by my neighbor until my return from zonata hunting in CA.
