Ok, over a month ago my baby King Snake, Queen, went missing. I posted here and got some great feedback. I put out small containers with holes in the tops and a pinkie in them. I must of gone through over 30 pinkies trying to get Queen.
This morning I decided to move snakes around. I opened Queens tank. I hadn't put any new water in but did leave the heat lamp on because my deaf cat Sweetpea loves to lay on the tank under the lamp and look out the basement window. First thing I see is a shed. I lift one of the hides and there is Queen !!!!! I was so shocked! I had gone though that tank at least twice, taking everything out and luckily putting it back in. I think Queen was in one of the plastic plants. The poor snake was skinny but looking good. I quickly gave it water and defrosted 2 pinkies which were promptly eaten.
I love having Queen back!!!! First, Queen is a little over 12". I usually feed 2 pinkies once a week. Should I feed twice a week or once a week again. It (don't know if Queen is a boy or girl. named after the band) really does look for a month of nothing.
I still feel bad, it will take a little time for forgive myself over this.
