So our checkered albino garter went officially missing from its tank tonight. We keep it in a 10 gallon tank, and apparently either my boyfriend or my boyfriend's brother forgot to put the lid on or left it off while they were away from the tank and now it's missing.
I can't think of any conceivable methods to lure it out of its hiding. Has this happened to anyone before, and what were some methods used in getting better odds of finding your garter? The thing is we have a dog, and I'm not sure if our dog would have got to it at any point. She's pretty wary of our BP even in the tank, and actually gets along quite well with our 2 rats, so we're keeping our hopes up that she didn't get to it first. Our garter was pretty feisty and fast moving, so hopefully its still enclosed in the house somewhere and didn't manage to slip out the door at some point.![]()
