The escapee has been found!!! =)

The Escapee has been found!!! Wow, what an answer to prayer!!
I got home from church/youth group tonight, and I went into the herp room and opened the door to the closet in there, and there he was tangled up in the tape that I left as a trap!!!
It was VERY hard to get the tape off of him because he was sooo knotted up in it all, but after alot of musk and alot of olive oil, the snake finally came off the tape. - He probably has some damaged scales, (he was REALLY stuck GOOD on that tape!!) lol and he's missing tooth because he left one in my finger!
But if you are ever in this situation, do NOT use that clear scotch tape stuff because it was VERY hard to get the snake off of it... (use masking tape or something instead.)
Whoohoo, I am soooo happy to have my snake back!!

I guess some damaged scales and a missing tooth are worth the fact that he is safe and (more or less) sound. I've never had any of mine get out for very long.

P.s. I bet your mom is glad he has been caught too.
