I just got my female white sided bull snake from a reputable breeder on morph market and set her up in a 15 long I housed my blood python in for a while everything is in order temps are perfect she is gorgeous and healthy with a perfectly normal bull snake attitude. Anyway I cut small slits in the wire top to fit a thermometer into my cool side for my blood python their was no way my blood would have got through it not even in the wildest of escape scenarios anyway I set Rose my bull snake up in the enclosure and left her for about a week this morning I wake up do my feeding routine for my snakes on feeding day and set a rat pinky in their for her to try to feed her for the first time, it struck me as odd that she wasn’t hungry because the previous day she was practically begging for food so I go about my day and about an hour and a half later it sounds like someone deflated a tire in my office and it struck me immediately that was my snake I lunge off my couch and find my cat cornering her she is cooked and striking I toss the cat into another room and grabbed her immediately lots of bluff striking my hand I checked her up and down and she appears to be fine my heart is thumping and I’m having feelings of guilt and anger at myself and thankfulness I found her healthy I feel like a horrible keeper. Anybody who knows me knows how seriously I take the husbandry of my animals it’s my favorite hobby I Took a minute to reflect I’m seriously worried she may have hurt herself she couldn’t have been out longer then a day but her tank is above a pvc enclosure I have my blood in over 5-6 feet high I am worried sick she may have fell and hurt herself and I’m guessing I can count on not taking her first meal today needless to say my enclosures are officially on lockdown and I will re evaluate everything I ever knew about housing my animals it was an amateur move on my part. Does anybody think she may have slid down the rails or would she just take a nice fall? How can I reduce the stress on this situation? Thank you and sorry for the long winded post I am so relieved and also guilty.
