Escapee?

FloridaHogs Apr 10, 2008 02:17 PM

So, last week I was out in my garage feeding the mice (and yes I wear gloves for this). I do the first two cages, and then move to the shelf below, which is my grow out tub. I am a little shocked to see my little corn Tocho sitting on top of the cage. So I pick him up and carry him back inside to figure out how he escaped. OK, now here is the fun part, I get Tochos cage, and.........

HE IS STILL IN IT!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have just randomly picked up a wild snake out of my garage and am walking around with it. LOL! Luckily, it is a very sweet little one, but man did it blow my mind....

Here is the little one, which is a girl, and she is eating like a champ!

Jenae,That's a cool story and a real beauty as well!! What locality of Fl. ? Jeff

Escambia Co, just about as far west as you can go in the panhandle. She looks more on line with the WC I have seen, vs that caramel looking girl I posted earlier.
