sorta funny snake moment...

ok, so I have had a hectic last few days and I go into the snake room and check cages. My biggest female (about 3500 grams) lives in a boaphile cage and has been hanging out with a smaller pastel male (800 grams or so). I look in and no pastel...move the hide...nope, shuffle tru the aspen, move the water dish...no pastel!! I'm actually pulling out the girl about now and looking at her accusingly..."did you eat him!!!" Ok so I know I'm an idiot but I'm now on my knees so I can check the back screens etc when I realize he is hanging on the ledge over the door like a corn snake...looking at me like I've gone off the deep end. So I am laughing with relief and a bit embarassed I actually thought she'd eat him. (I know better) Guess next time I'll remember these guys can climb too.

My male surprised me the other day with this.....
Can you say snake on a wall. I though it was funny but I believe having them (male & female) out in the yard surprised the mailman a bit!
