kenyan sand boa missing!!!

[recycling goddess]

thanks everyone... i sure hope we find our sand boa... *fingers crossed* but i'm prepared for the worst.

right now at this moment my beautiful sweet little kenyan sand boa is wolfing down two pinkies! oh ya baby... my cat found him for me!

after i took the dead cornsnake from her she ran upstairs and started sniffing around the 90 gallon salt water tank. i thought... oh is that where you found the cornsnake?

so about 30 minutes ago my hubby and i finally found something (a long strip of plexiglass) which fit under the tank (such a small space) and honestly i figured the little corn hatchling could fit but the kenyan sand boa wouldn't... but... low and behold who gets pushed out by the plexi... yup, my boa!!!!

i quickly defrosted two pinks while my hubby gave him a nice big drink of water and now he's in his reg. 5 gallon tank WITH a strap on it so no more escaping allowed!

isn't this just the best news you've heard today from me!!!!

Glad to see some good news has followed up the bad! Congrats on finding him!

i just keep sitting here, thanking the goddess for assisting us to find him (via our cat). i am sooooo thankful!

now, i can allow myself to 'feel' and grieve for my little annie... and celebrate my happy news at the same time (makes it so much easier to grieve when you have such great news at the same time!)

i moved my snow corn - sevasti, into a new enclosure with is more secure... and because of the fact that sooo much has happened we've really looked closely at everyone's vivs and made changes where appropriate.

thank you everyone for being so supportive... i can't believe how horrible it is, how frustrating it is and how un-empowered you feel.

such a little tiny snake in such a huge house. (times two!)

okay i'm done going on and on and on LOL

I am sorry about your loss.


However, I am so glad to hear the good news and just last night my charcoal hatchling turned up unharmed as well.. Good news all around.

[recycling goddess]

oh now THAT is good news!!!!!! 2 out of 3 ain't bad! - a heck of a lot better than 0 out of 3!

[tigerlily]

Oh Aleesha, I'm so glad you were able to find him! I've been hoping he'd turn up for you, safe and sound.

So glad you found him.. it's a bummer worrying about them.

Oh, yes, you found the little guy! I'm so sorry for your corn, but thank goodness it wasn't both of them! Whew... What a relief!
