We went to the local expo today. Got some new acquisitions, had a great time, came home, discovered that the lid on Li's tank had either been left unclipped allowing her to push it open and escape, or she has jedi mind powers and unlatched it to escape. Either way, she's MIA and we've scoured the downstairs sand havent located her.

I read over a missing snake thread here and told kids and hubs 'tight spaces, warm places'.

Still no Li. I did check the curtains, curtain rods, behind fridge & stove & washer/dryer. We discovered a vent thing was opened a bit, it leads down to the basement (it leads to the furnace and I'm freaking out that she might have fallen down it). Didn't see her down it and when we went into the basement we could see the duct thingy but no way to get inside it without tearing it apart.

I'm going to scour the upstairs to see if she might have gone upstairs. I feel hideous. We had a blast, got some cool snakes, but my buddy Li is now missing and I'm having a hard time feeling happy. Any ways, we're going to go check shoes now. I dunno what to do. Anyone feel like saying a prayer/lighting a candle/rubbing buddah's belly or whatever, be my guest. I need to find my buddy.
