I found my snake!! i just had to share somewhere w/ like minded peeps!

hello, i'm sarah and i found my ball earlier today! well he just kinda appeared, i didnt really find him, persay.

he'd disappeared (my fault, i got careless and forgot to put the clasps on the cage one night, please dont think i'm a bad owner!) about 2 1/2 months ago. i'm so glad i found him. i missed him, not to mention i felt really bad for him.

here's a pic of him. i'm sorry for the size as i do not know how to scale it down.... as soon as i put water in the cage he was on it. and he drank for waaaayyyy too long, i actually had to make him stop drinking. i think he got into a drinking stupor. i hope he didnt drink too much!

so, he seems alright, no weezing or sniffling and not sluggish. and he's molted so he somehow managed to stay fit. i hope he eats. mouse for Eli first thing tommorow!

It's a sick feeling when you find an empty cage,And pure elation when you find the missing snake.

It something that happens to the best of them.... I'm sure it's a mistake you WON'T soon make again.

Glad he's back safe and sound.

no, i will definitely never make this same mistake again. i felt so irresponsible when i'd found out he was gone, like cruelty to animals type thing.
