Lost snake

Purplemonkey Aug 27, 2005 08:55 PM

So it appears that my carpet python, Jade, has mamaged to escape, which completely baffles me, because her cage was clicked in place when I noticed that she was missing.

I've had snakes go missing before, and generally I end up finding them. But this is different, as this snake likes to climb.

Have any of you lost a tree dwelling snake and successfully found it? Please help.

We found Jade, the carpet python. Actually, my sister found her, and screamed because of it at 2am.

Ta da!!

So where did you find it? Your answer might help the next tree dwelling snake seeker.

Also, did you figure out how it got out? This might be the more important question.
