Unbelievable!!!

I went into our office, where I have my two snakes, to spray them. I couldn't see my 0.1 het albino bci in either of her hides, so I got a flashlight to look in them since it is so dark in there. Then I noticed that I did not latch the top of the enclosure yesterday! A corner was lifted up about a half inch and the snake was not in there.

My wife and I began searching the room, but couldn't find her. After maybe 3 or 4 minutes, I checked the coat closet right outside of the office. I pulled back a jacket that had fallen on the floor and there she was! I couldn't believe I had just found her after just a few minutes! I had already started thinking of the tricks I've read about from posts in this forum, but I didn't need any of them to get her back.

My wife and I are going out of town tomorrow morning for, so she would have been out until at least Sunday evening if I hadn't checked on her. With the heat/ac off for two days, it might not have been good, depending on the weather. If she was out for two full days there's no telling where she would have been!

Definetely a streak of luck that you happened to check in on her and then to find her so quickly.
