I had a baby snow California kingsnake disappear once (in like 1995) after not fully closing a lid. She disappeared in either Sept. or Oct. and was missing for a few weeks so I gave up all hope. Well about 6 months later in March I get a call at work from my mom. She was downstairs washing cloths and her little yorkie kept barking at something in the corner. It was my little snow king. I rushed home to find her in very good shape, although a lot meaner.
