So I live in Winchester, Va and there is a mom and pop sorta pet store...mostly specializes in reptiles, birds, fish....I have become good friends with the reptile guy there (we are about the same age and hit it off over snakes). What the former roommate didnt realize is that this guy and me are friends...I had mentioned my escapee when it happened and he had asked through out the summer about any updates....former roomie turned the snake in to the pet store this morning with express instructions not to give the snake back to me b/c apparently I neglect my animals (former roomie even showed pet store ppl my photo and gave them a solid description of me)...not realizing that me and the pet store staff (specifically snake dude) are all friends by this point. Pet store snake guy called me an hour after snake was dropped off with a "hey didnt you have an escaped snake this summer" phone conversation. Needless to say he was basically like get your butt here and get your snake lol....
