THE GREAT ESCAPE

mblons May 12, 2011 11:46 AM

To my horror three days ago, I discovered that my adult extreme red albino male had escaped from his cage! I turned the room upside down for three days glaring at our cat who was waiting anxiously outside of the always closed door to the snake room. I kept looking at the bottom of the door where it meets the carpet wondering if the snake could have gotten under the door. I left a thawed frozen fuzzie on the floor hoping it would be eaten. I left a ramp up to his open cage picturing him climbing up the ramp to his home. Nothing. Yesterday I got a frantic call from my wife that the snake was in the backyard next to our swimming pool. Certainly it couldn't be my snake. It would have had to have gotten under the door, past the very interested cat, down a long hallway, down two flights of stairs, across the house downstairs and out our sliiding door to the backyard. It was him! Very lucky.

Close call!! Sounds like he was found at the last minute. Now that he's back, you can post him in my red thread, right??
