    There should be an "escape artist" forum on here, for real. The import got out last night. If you read Crowley's experience, same thing with mine. I heard the latch pop off, but I thought it was that sound when they fall; it was just a "boom!".. So I figured she just fell. Low and behold, I wake up this morning and she's gone.

    I hope I find her, I've been looking EVERYWHERE (even took Randy's advice, and looked in the coils in the fridge, no luck.) Never thought it would be hard to find a four-foot snake. :roll:

    And I never thought it would happen to me....lol...

    Off I go to search.

    Hope you find her Emroul. I use to just put the lock through the latch, but now Im even locking the lock's on my tank and adding weight to the top to make sure. I dont think I want to go through what alot of you have been going through lately.

    I hope you find her,
    That is a bit of a coincidence. Maybe the BP's of the world are trying to liberate themselves. Yeah maybe they want to go check out that big retic?..lol
    Good luck I'm sure you'll find her.

    Not so healthy new snake
    We had an adult (4.5') get out and stay missing for two months once. She finally showed up in the bathroom early one morning. Good luck finding her. I'm sure you know all the tricks.

    TWO MONTHS?!? Oh my goodness, how in the world did she even stay alive? (Was it during winter?)

    That gives me a good feeling that she'll come up. I'm just going to wait until tonight. I have all the lights off so she might think it's night time :)

    The escape for two months ended in September, and since we were in Georgia, it was definitely not cold. When she disappeared (Timba Lou was her name) it was time for her to eat, so she ended up going 3 months or so without food. I was sooo glad to see her back.

    Best of luck to you.... I'm sure you'll find her. After all, an adult bp is much easier to locate... Less hiding places, and they make some noise when moving.

    emroul
    That's what I figured: noise. Last night I kept waking up hearing a "thump" or "boom", to find it's only the ones out and about IN their enclosures :(

    Ah well.....continuing the search..

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!! You know what that means, LOL. I found her! I'm so happy, she was ice cold, but now she is snug back in her warm home. And Randy, your 10 foot rule applied here. (Even though I looked where she was yesterday). She must have moved over there last night. Hidden behind a bunch of old shoes, hehe.... What a little bugger, eh? She's crawlin' around lookin' happy, as if she didn't cause any trouble! LOL!! The weird thing is, she got gum smeared on the side of her neck :? :? I think she spent some time in my trash can. :lol: She should just shed it out, though...

    Just thought you'd like to know.

    Oh, and another thing. Man, she beat herself up for the 2 days she was away from my supervision, lol. The first thing I noticed when I found her (besides the gum) was a bump right on the top of her head. It has a little (not even a mm long) scab, or like it was bleeding. I think that is from when she unlatched the cage. Who knows. Oh well, she isn't getting out anymore!!!

    Gum? That's an odd skin treatment.

    Glad you found her, though. I'm sure her cage will be super-locked now, eh? :wink:

    It's clamped in eight different places, actually, and locked on both sides.....Hehe...LOL..

    Which morph is which?
    That might just do it. :wink: Add on a lead-weight and some bungie cords and I think you're set.

    Mmmmmmm.....gummy snake! :D
    Glad you found her! And glad to have another instance that supports my 10 foot hypothesis!

    emroul, I glad to hear that you found her. I don't know what I would do if Zeus ever got out of his cage. I think that I would probably have a heart attack. But glad to ear that you found her.
