woke up to an empty snake tank!

Well went to bed last night and my snake tank was locked. When I woke up my tank was still locked without my albino bp girl in there. So I freaked out ofcourse and was very confused as to how she was not in there. My dogs were asleep next to me and hadn't moved and I was still in the same spot I went to sleep in. So after I cooled down and knowing my girl she would go to the darkest smallest place she could find and slither in there. So I knew she wouldn't have left the room due to all the hiding spots available. Well I found her in my open storage closet cause its my snake/man room and pulled her out of there and put her away. So my theory is that I somehow sleep walked, opened the tank, took her out and passed back out. That's the only thing I can think of. My wife says ill talk to her in my sleep but she is in california due to the fact of myself just getting out of the military so she already moved back home. So this is my only theory on how it could have possibly happened. So just thought I would share my odd experience and I guess I will never truely know what happened. Very strange day but she ate today no problem so she aparently wasn't too stressed from her adventure.

I'm glad she's okay and you found her! My cousin used to sleep walk outside of his house, and walk across the busy highway they lived right next to... people do some crazy stuff when they're sleep walking.

maybe it was an alien snake abduction.LOL

Yea either that or she's wanted to be a ghost instead of an albino so she slithered through the glass.

x2

im happy you found her, it always sucks to wake up to an empty enclosure

my sister used to sleepwalk, and it was always the creepiest thing i had ever seen cause i'd try to talk to her without scaring her mid dream but it was almost impossible to communicate with her, it gives me the jitters thinking about it

Yea I've never sleep walked in my life but that seems to be the only logical explanation.

Well, if you did you would be asleep.

I am so glad that you found your snake. There is nothing worse then waking up to a snake that is not in it's enclosure. I don't use tanks anymore because of this. My male normal used to escape from the tank all the time. I really like my tubs, lol.

My logic is falling over this. You have never to your knowledge walked in your sleep before. Correct?? and you have decided that this is the logical explanation? I would very very very carefully check the security of the enclosure you have. It seems more logical to me that the snake escaped out some over looked way than sleepwalking. If you are right no hame done if you are wrong you will have an empty cage tomorrow.

I am glad you found your snake I just am suggesting that snakes are unbelievable escape artists and are very strong and can get out of things that are quite unexpected.

What kind of enclosure is she in? I had my big boa girl in a cage with a partial screen cover. I found her two rooms away (yeah, got under the door...wth!) and stopped in the hallway bathroom to sleep under the heat vent. Inspecting the cage, it actually took me a while to figure out what was going on. She was able to pry loose a corner of the screen. It didn't look out of place, it would return to form after she crawled out.

Upgraded her to a vision. Unless she sprouts some thumbs or I leave the cage open, she's not getting out.
