The Case of the Missing Lesser
I had a customer call me today, frantic because the lesser he had just bought had vanished from its secure cage, and he couldn't figure out how it had managed to escape. He'd torn his room apart, looked in ever piece of furniture, and in every closet...
The snake had been in its hide the previous evening. The next day...nothing. Nothing under the hide, the bedding, or the water dish...no snake in the cage.
As I spoke with him, suggesting the use of flour to track the snake at night, and other places he might look, he happened the check the cage again...and, purely by chance....


Found him. ^_^

HAHAHAHAH That's too funny! You should show this thread to the guy concerned about his snake that's crammed in the small space under the water dish. I bet it'll make him feel better! That's too cute.

Oi!
These guys find the darnedest places to hide, don't they ? Now the tricky part is waiting for it to come out. I'm pretty sure it can come back out of there, can't it ?

It's a big enough hole, and he got all the way in there...should be able to get out, lol.

Still I'd be worried about the pour little guy! Even if he found himself easily going inside I can't imagine him coming out :/

I've seen many horror stories involving that branch, most of them include a hacksaw. I'd tell him to remove it, just so the snake doesn't need to be sawed out in the future.

He already has that planned, lol.

Gosh, I don't know how they do it.
I used to have an upside down flower pot in my cage, not as a hide, I actually stuck a fake plant in the little drainage hole just to make it more jungly. One day, my snake was not in either of her hides, or her humid hide, so I got worried.... then I saw her head sticking out from under the flower pot. No idea how she managed to lift it with her little nose and get under it, it was a pretty heavy pot for a little snake! But she did, and she was very happy. I don't even know how she knew to TRY and lift it because it just might be hollow... the things they do when we aren't looking....
