I know absolutely no one will remember,but i posted about 8 months ago about a black rat snake(WC) i had that had escaped. I cut down a wall with a hole in it i suspected he may have been in,but he wasnt and my closet was then one wall too short. Well that was 8 months ago,winter came and went,and still no snake. we just hoped hed gotten outside,and knew what he was doing. Well today, we had some new people moving onto our block in an apt. building about 10 houses down. the lady moving in came knocking on our door frantically,and said she heard about all of our animals,and have seen them and was wondering if we could help her with something. we went over to her apt. and there was nothing there,so on our way home, we saw a black snake slithering down the block! he looked like he was just takign a casual stroll. we finally caught up with him, and he looks different. he was little skinnier, probably from coming out of hibernation. we got him home,set his old cage back up and let him chill out. then fed him,he killed his mouse(only takes live!)but never ate it.go figure. But im just so happy we found him! I had lost all hope in ever seeing him again,and there is he is!safe and sound! So to everyone who has an escapee. dont lose hope! Ask your neighbors!hehe

I'm so glad he's OK and back with you. Most of us have been through those days of worry. My opersonal worst is 187 days. You got that beat.
