So last weekend I bought my first ball. Over the next few days we are working on moving tanks around, tweeking heat/humidity, and all that good stuff. So the other night I broke a big rule and apparently wasnt giving my full attention to one animal at a time. Well the next morning I wake up for work at 5:30 (yuck) and go into the reptile room which is also wear my suits are. I glance at one of my corns tanks and my heart stopped. The lid was completely off and on the ground. I forgot to put it back on. (such an idiot). Now shes a sweetheart and loves to be held, shes always sticking her nose up to the screen to come out and play so I knew she must of slithered out almost as soon as I had walked away the night before. I started ripping that room apart, totally freaking out. I almost called in to work so I could look for her. I decided to try the adjacent bedroom just to see if she had slipped out from the door and into that room. I opened the door, flicked on the light and there she was just chilling right in the middle of the floor, picks her head up to look at me, I reach down and she just started to crawl up my arm! I could not believe how lucky I was. Definitely learned a valuable lesson here and just had to share my excitement because I know this could have been an absolute disaster. :banana:
