Just an update,a few weeks ago I noticed my Deppei deppei was gone. I wasn't sure how long he was gone for, since he always hide. I searched the house up and down and after 2 weeks didn't have much hope. Today while outside of my house, I just happen to look down and in the corner of the hedges was my snake. He looked better than ever and seems to be just fine. So glad that I got him back. I know these stories don't always end this way.
