So this is a sad happy story im going to share
Last Christmas after going to look for rats at a petshop, to buy as pets( i really wanted rats for a long time), my bf found a ball python at a petshop, and, after going to see him , oh well we got us a snek.
As weeks went by we upgraded from the small tank he had to a bigger one. One with doors that slide open. Long story short, Snek loved his new tank. 7 days ago when my bf replaced his water, he left the tank open. We didnt go back to the apartment for 2 days!. 2 DAYS. And guess what, how the universe works. 2 3 weeks ago we finally found rats! We ordered two boys. One of the boys i suspect its actually a female (pretty sure I saw her nipppples) and is kinda crazy. So surprise surprise
Arriving home after 2 days. Tank open. Rats escaped. Snek nowhere to be seen. One of the rats is in his cage, the male . Panic panic panic! My bf calls me tells me what he did. I think he is joking... he wasnt
Came to the apartment too, finally found the female rat hidding in the kitchen, but no trace of snake.in the search for the rat i found evidence of Sneks passing in the kitchen.(i saw his poop somewhere behind the oven because he ate not too long before his escape). The horror realizing they are together there snake vs rat worst scenarios ever in my mind.we eventually caught our ratsi.This was 7 days ago, i spent all night searching sites and answers on how to find the snake. I was pretty sure he was in the kitchen bcuz of poop evidence. But time had passed and the kitchen window was sligtly opened for those 2 days and it wasnt hard for him to climb. As days passed i started accepting that he probably took a ran for it...*try hard not to be mad at bf*
Yesterday when we were away, rats escaped again! Just the female, the male.always waits on his cage or hammock chilling . Desperatly trying to catch her since. She is in the oven. I guess? I dont want to harm her so its mostly a waiting game. Anyways we moved the fridge last night to see better behind the counters and we like-triple checked the fridge and ever spot in the house . Anyways I left the fridge moved from his place last night. Today we had to go out for a while, we came back and there is SNEK!!. Under/inside the back of the fridge!! Couldnt believe what I was seeing. Like whaaaaaaat Snek hunn ure back cant believe what im seeing!!!
He is back in his tank chilling on his branch under the light, little basilisk must have been cold!! The first thing he did was go and drink water i think he was really thirsty.
But now, where the hell is the rat?!?!
