RUDE AWAKENING...............

well its 3:16am where i live and for some strange reason I woke up
turned around and who'd I see??............
Pimpette the female wondersnake!!
i nearly jumped outta my skin b4 i realized it was her

she got out of her rubbermaid somehow???
i just put her back in and put tons of weights over the lid
haha now that i'm wide awake i figured i'd share my escape story with you all

Good thing you found her before she slithered away. She must have wanted under the covers for the warmth.

Wow pimp. looks like you got lucky. You outta' see all the weight I got on my cages now, I caught Bubba lifting the top to his tank with an 5 pound weight on each side!!

I use sliding glass :)

You got extremely lucky! I wish I'd woken up when my runt escaped :)

About three years ago I awoke to young oppossum on my chest.. aaaaahhhhhhh very freaky.
It was a youngin I was rehabbing. and it liberated itself.
Sorry off topic but that was the last thing I ever wanted to wake up too..lol

So, Im NOT the only person that has saved an opossum's life! Where I use to work, a co-worker (i'd rather use a different word) found a mother opossum and her youngins in the ware house. Well needless to say he beat the mother to death and 2 of her little ones. I dont know how many there were, but I found 2 live ones and took them home. I made a cage and raised them for about 2 months (mainly on road kill) until I released them. Being the critters they are, they probably met thier fate in the middle of the road some time after I released them, but I gave them a chance. People thought I was crazy for nursing opossum's back to health, but I am an animal loving person, no matter what kind of critter they are. Heck, I brake for wooly worms.

Now for the last thing I ever wanted to wake up to.....Oh, nevermind :lol:

One time I woke up to feel tiny needles jabbing into my arm, so I flung whatever it was off my arm, it hit the door and slid down and scampered off. I felt really bad then cuz I realized it was my sister's ferret, but thankfully she was okay.

Juicebox, just noticed you're from Newport News. Nice to see a fellow VA'er in the house. I have a lot of friends around there, and VA Beach. Lots in Norfolk at ODU also...

Yep, I go to CNU, but I actually live in Manassas. =)
