    Lost but found! YAAY!!!!

    Well, I'm kind of new to collecting but, not too new. Started in November of 2010 with my first morph. Well, today I was checking on all my snakes as I do often daily and found my new baby girl Lesser Camaro from HDI Reptile was NOT in her tub! Well, after about 30 minutes of tearing my Reptile Room apart I found her. I then noticed where one of the handles had went had a hole in it large enough for her to slither threw! So, she has a new tub! LOL!

    Re: Lost but found! YAAY!!!!

    How crazy is that. This just happened to me this morning. Went to check on the boys and noticed there was slight gap above the lip of the tub where my little ball of fire, Pyro lives. Pulled out the tub and he was mia. The news didn't go too well with my better half and she was plenty pissed. Started searching around for about an hour and remembered reading a thread on how using food to lure the little guys out of hide and seek. Today is my usual feeding day so I took out a frozen rat pup and let it thaw out while I continued to search. Pulled out the handy hair dryer and started to scent up the room. The other boys in their tubs started to go crazy as the aroma of rat was emitting all over the place. After about 2 minutes, guess who popped his head out with his tongue flicking like crazy? My little fire. I guess using rats as bait works after all. Will be more careful on securing my tubs.

    I've only lost one and I left the tub open... I found in two shelves down curled up by the heat tape thank heavens! It's nerve racking to lose them!

    @ Rob, don't use lids, you'll be glad you didn't for so many reasons.

    Dang, Lacey...a missing BP is one thing, a missing Blood is a whole different bag of donuts! Not sure I'd be going to sleep with him running around.

    It wasn't the rack! The tub had a whole where the handle was, the snake forced herself through it...
