    This is buddy, I lost him last year:(

    I just wanted to share buddy, my cali king, He escaped twice last year and was never found the second time he escaped. I have yet to figure out how me escaped with clamps and bricks on his tank. The first time he escaped he was gone for over 5 months.

    I'm sorry for your loss. We too have lost our king. How did you find him after 5 months?

    Here's something I have learned over the years. Everyone that uses "bricks", loses their snakes. EVERYONE.

    He may still turn up though.

    Re: This is buddy, I lost him last year:(

    Here's a fun story about recapturing a cali king that had gotten loose. I don't know for sure how true it is or if it was more of a popular myth, or at least greatly exaggerated.

    I used to volunteer at a zoo. One of the things we got to do was take out "contact animals" that allowed zoo guests to get up close and personal and actually touch some animals. Some of my favorites were the ball pythons. There was one other snake in the contact animals, a cali king.

    The story is that one of the times a volunteer had taken the cali king out, it had gotten loose. Since what was usually done with the contact animals was to walk around the zoo grounds with them, this wasn't like loose in a building, this was loose outside on the zoo grounds.

    Quite a long time later, my recollection is that it was more than a year, but this was quite a few years ago so I'm not too certain on that, the same cali king, identifiable by unique markings in a slightly aberrant pattern, was recaptured, still living on the zoo grounds.

    So maybe there is still hope!

    My mom found him in the closet one day, oh she was mad at me. Anyway after feeding him and setting him up again he disappeared after about a week. He was the meanest little bugger though, he would strike the inside of his tank over and over again but now I know it was likely becase he was just a baby. Poor little guy, I miss him. I loved his markings. He has been gone almost a year now.
