Angry little cobra

So a few months ago. My mums hognose escaped during feeding time. I was at work, got a text. Welo had escaped. My mum was devastated, enough to want to sell our entire collection because Welo was her baby. Shes just a normal no het that we know of western hog. But thats mums baby. Anyway we didnt sell our collection because the four snake owners/breederd she knows all told her dont, she'll turn up. Well she didnt. She never turned up. We never found her. Mum was still saddened and wouldnt even look at hoggies for sale or anything.

Well my sister was cleaning out a pantry. We have a few old 'blender cups' for an old ninja type blender we used to have. Guess who was in the bottom of one of those cups? Welo. Welo was in the blender cup. Unharmed unscathed. I came home from work to sister fuming cuz shes afraid of snakes but she was excited she found her. Mum was excited (told over phone).

I looked her over and she was longer than she used to be. She was so angry, still angry, miniature cobra, hissing up a storm, but the second i had her in my hands, she was calm and quiet. She got offered food the day after we found her and she glaldy ate it. Needless to say, she is now tightly contained in a new tub, fresh water, and checked on every day. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bca07e5e5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...66343d67ce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3737561490.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e55090f52a.jpg

thank goodness for a happy ending.

how long was she missing for?

I'm so glad this little girl is safely home! She's really not helping me not get a hognose though.

Should definitely get one, as angry as she was, the moment i held her she calmed right down and relaxed.

Theyre adorable noodles

Mum was distraught. She wanted to get rid of everything, including our balls because she felt like she failed because it happened on her watch while i was at work. That in turn made me stress because those snakes are my life, even if i do rehome some, they still are a big part of my happiness.

no one is perfect, and mistakes happen. i know the first time i allowed Yellow to escape, i felt like i didn't deserve him; like i failed him. as long as we learn from our mistakes, that's all that matters.

tell your momma she's an awesome snarent. :)

I promised I wouldn't get any more noodles for the year. I've also claimed I wouldn't get any more in general. So difficult.

Ive been very good at not buying any lately. Though I'm going to the victorville show (though no plans to buy, but might sell a group of balls to someone if they decide to close the deal) so no guarantees i womt walk away with something. I did good last show though!

Theyre adorable though, our two hoggies. Theyre not going anywhere.

LOL!!! That's what I told myself 2 weeks ago, then I went to an expo and came home with my hognose snake.... I'm telling ya, these snakes are like potato chips, you just can't have one!!

Looks great for being loose for a few months.... prolly was living off Vienna sausages from the pantry. :rofl:
