So hoping not the case. I told her to do just that, if he did get hurt, there's nothing one can really do. I feel for her, really. If he does die, she will never forgive herself. I, as well, can't reconcile in my mind not explaining to her how to shut the tank, and also not emphasizing the DO NOT drag any of the plants out of the window and be VERY careful! I thought about saying such to her being that I crushed a scared bird by doing something similar in the past. Mrrr. Such a cool snake! He really was the chillest snake I've ever had.
