Super escape

[PythonsbyParris]

Last night I went downstairs to get a new collar for my buldog, I knew there was one on the bakers rack that has been there for months. I found the collar and what I thought was a rubber snake. I distinctly thought "OH cool that looks just like that pattern on the Nelsons Milk snake. I grabed it and it slid out of my hands " wow that rubber was slick" "Oh crap thats not a rubber snake that is the Nelsons." as he turned his head and flicked his toung at me. It didnt scare me or anything surprisingly, I should have jumped or somthing. I called my wife down to see him then took him back upstairs and checked out his enclosure. The door was open just over a quarter of an inch, just enough for him to fit through. Now the scarry part is we have 3 cats and 2 dogs and this snake traveled through two rooms and down the stairs then up onto the bakers rack to get where he was and not a one of the other animals saw him. Glad I found him before I knoticed him missing I woulsd have torn that house apart and never looked ther for him.
Just had to tell this story thought it was funny

Now that is funny! Maybe it was heading to the kitchen for a snack?

He almost made it. The rack he was on is next to the opening to the kitchen. A few more slithers and he would have made it to the freezer.

They will get to places where you would almost bet they could NEVER get to. I think colubrids are more adventurous and will travel much further than ball pythons. I'm glad you were able to find a lost snake before you knew it was lost.

Congrats!
