Interesting story...I was shuffling critters in and out of their enclosures while doing some spot cleaning when my gf calls me into the other room. I knew it would only be a few minutes so I leave my coastal carpet on the jungle gym. He always stays on there for at least 15 -20 minutes before he makes his way to the floor if he comes down at all. My lady gets a little long winded but no big deal. Then I make a quick pit stop by the loo. I get comfortable and start scrolling through news and social media on my cell phone when I hear my Amstaff Terrier rumbling about in the hangout room. I figured she was just playing with one of her toys but she’s been chewing on stuff lately so I call for my son to check on her.
DAD!!! Do you know you left a snake out in here?! Oh crap, that’s right!! To my surprise, the snake had made his way off the jungle gym and was underneath the table that some of my enclosures sit on. The dog is too big to get under the table but I’m sure she gave the snake quite a scare. I chase the pup away and scoop up the snake. I look him over really well and he’s just fine so I return him to his enclosure. Then I kick myself in the bum for getting distracted and off task.
Stay focused y’all.
