My pastel has been found.
While watching tv my dad noticed a beautiful serpent coiled on top of some cd's in a cd rack. Apparantly, my snake is a Journey fan, as he was sitting directly over the three Journey CD's my father owns lol.

It seems to me that in the event of snake escape, there isn't much you can do. One initial search and after that its all up to the gods. A friend of mine recently found a Durango Mtn King that had been missing for months.

just thought I'd share the good news.

This summer, I was snake sitting a co-worker's two rosy boas. Well, one got away after only one week. Two months later, the day before I was giving the remaining snake back to the owner, I found the missing rosy in my bathroom looking healthy!

Congratulations on finding your pastel. Sounds like he has pretty good taste in music. Unlike a lot of you younger guys and gals, I was a twenty year in the late seventies and have always been a Journey fan. In fact, on our first date my wife (my girlfriend then) and I went to a Journey concert.

I have issues with snakes getting let out. My not quite 3 year old gets bored and his favorite is apparently my orange ghost male. He was missing for about 2 months one time, this last it's been about a week or two. 'Sunset' (the orange ghost) seems to like to go to the kitchen and play in the sinks there.

The pet gray banded kingsnake has been let out 3x as well and she was returned by a neighbor 2 building away, 4 months later. THANK Goodness I have excellent luck with snakes.

Glad you found your pastel!

Journey was a band from the 70's/80's. You might have heard some of their songs, several were very popular back in the day. A lot of people considered it a "girl band" that guys would hide the tapes in their glove box if they had them lol.

The cd rack is right by the windo, when he had gotten loose he had just been fed, and the place where he was found was in direct sunlight. He was basking like he was right at home in the wilds of our condo lol.

Thanks to all who replied

SOunds like the snake for me. I am a Journey fan myself, though I was just a little little kid in their big days (I was born in 1984). They also have an album called Escape.

Hey now, since most of ya'll aren't old enough to know this, learn from the experienced, LOL! Girl bands serve a great purpose! Anytime the girlfriend wants to talk about something you don't want to... say moving in and evicting your herps, in goes the "girl band" (at the time you would make sure the tape - a magnetic reel within a plastic case that was used to record sounds pre-cd - was at the right point) would start playing a song she liked and instantly the conversation was over. It was best to keep several of these "girl band" tapes in the "glove box" to insure that you did not run out before you could wind the tape to the correct point on each to insure the right song... and god help you if you put it in and played the wrong side! See learn from the experienced. Now if you will excuse me, my wife will be reading this shortly so I have to go to e-bay and buy a funeral plot quickly!

Reptile related! Keep "girl band" cd's (formally tapes) and save the "lose me or the snake" fights!
