So I went home last night after work, and remembered it was feeding day. I got a mouse from my colony {ha, its just one pregnant female now} and gave it to Ror cuz hes a brat and will only take live... anyways, I go back down to the kitchen and start defrosting a mouse for my female who'll eat anything put in front of her. All I usually have to do is open up the cage dangle the mouse for a second, and bam.... this time no bam. So I do the zombie dance for maybe five minutes and still nothing... Thats when I opened the cage and expected it to find I had an escapee. My heart sank, and I started sweating bullets in .00001 seconds. I looked around at the disaster area that was my room where my snakes are and dredded going through everything. I turned everything in my room upside down 5 times over... my bed, dresser, piles and piles of clothes, everything. It seemed hopeless cuz I could imagine loosing 100 snakes in this mess and not find one. It was a snake paradise... I was up till 3am last night searching for her, but to no avail. I left the f/t mouse in her cage with the lid cracked in case she was close enough to smell dinner.

Woke up this morning, cage still empty, mouse still there. The search continued to into the other rooms of the house... yes, my door was open when she got out.... so I moved the bed and furniture in 3 other rooms to no avail. By this time the whole house looked like a tornado had gone through and I still had yet to find my snake. I was about to put flour all over the place, "scent" the walls with mice and leave hides with f/t mice in them in hopes that I could catch her. I decided to check the hallway closet for the 100th time... and when i moved our fire safe, there she was, under the safe just chillin. And I do mean chillin... she was sooo cold, when I picked her up she wrapped her whole body around my arm to get some warmth... at least she still had her strength. after that it was back into the tub where she gobbled up a freshly prepared f/t. and I was off to work with the worst excuse for being late ever.... maybe I should have said my dog was lost instead of my snake? the looks I got from my boss ALMOST made it all worth it. No not really, I almost had a heartattack... Thanks for listening to my rant, everythings cool now.

p.s. I duct taped her cage shut for a quick fix while I'm at work, I'll be running by office depot for some clips on my way home, hopefully she won't ever have a repeat performance
