Ok, here goes... most probably won't believe me, but this is 100% true and happened last Sunday.
I walked by my reptile room, and noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I went over, and found one of my large female ball python the floor! She escaped from her vision cage! The door was slightly open, so I figured I must've left it open just a lil bit... enough for her to squeeze out. I also noticed another cage on the other side of the room was open a lil bit. This cage is where I keep my White Lip python. He was still in there, but I was concerned because I never leave cages open.
I put her back in the cage, closed both cages and left the room. I went back a few hours later, and again, the vision was open and she was gone! I freaked out because nobody else went into the room! I searched for hours for her all over the place. She was nowhere to be found. I then noticed that the white lip python cage was open... again!!!! :eek: I looked in the cage, and the white lip was still in there chilling out. But guess who was in there as well.... yup! The female was in his lil hide spot under the heater while he was on the other side of the cage! Can you believe this? I've (rarely) had snakes escape before (never from a vision though), but I've NEVER had one leave a cage and open up another one to go inside!!! Both cages have heavy sliding glass doors.
So, now she's in with the white lip and they are just hanging out together. I figure, hey, if she wants in that bad, why not just leave her there?
I have no idea why she did this, unless she retained sperm from this past breeding season and is cycling herself to lay eggs again!
Has anyone had anything close to this happen to them???![]()
