Went into the snake room to check on everyone (still no eggs from my ball python girl...sigh). Anyway I step up to the rack and hear 'hisssssss!' Which is nothing new, my female hognose hisses at me every time I step near. However this was a much tinier hiss. I look down and my male hognose comes out from the side of the rack and raises up and hisses at me again from his place on the floor. I was so shocked, not only that he was out of his tank (he has a tank not a tub) but that he was coming out to challenge me and/or demand food. I reached down and he just let me pick him up no problem. I checked his tank and it seems to be 100% on lock down! I have no idea how he got out or why this was the first time if it's not escape proof.
So I turned on my hatchling rack and he'll live in there until I can figure something else out!
I'm just glad he's brazen enough to come out of his hiding spot!.
