(URGENT) She escaped!

wolfgang Oct 21, 2003 10:41 AM

My female anaconda escaped last night. I keep her in a 55 gallon aquarium, and I must have forgoten to clip the screen. My roomate doesn't care for her so I keep her in my bathroom, nexted to the tub. I keep the plug in the tub drain because the outgoing water pipe leaks and the faucet drips, as a result the bathtub stays about half full all the time. She must have escaped and gotten into the tub because she pooped in it. I've let her out when I was in my room before but she always got back in the cage when she got cold, only in this case the lid settled back on the cage.

I keep the door to my room locked at night, so I can figure how she would have gotten out, the gap under the door in only about a half inch and she's over 6' now. The only opening I can find is the toilet which worries me because it's a water source, and I'm afraid she might have climbed down the drain while the lid was up.

Has anyone else ever had a problem like this and what advise do you guys have? Please help.
