Well, I for one generally talk like an adult instead of a little boy trying to shock his parents.

I don't. For real.

you just keep going on in life with that as your motto. think our moms told us that when we were 6 lol. bunch of wimps on this website thats all i gotta say. thats the problem with the world today, everyone babies their kids and they cant any heat and have such thin skin.

We'd be very happy to show you the door. I don't think the forum would miss your "contributions". Your actions, your decision. I'm sure any member of staff would be happy to escort you there. This is your warning.

id feel "bad" too if I lost my pet, but i am also smarter then the pets I own so these problems dont occur in my house. have had snakes and other reptiles since I was 13, have never lost a pet. I would also take full responsibility on myself for what i did, not try and blame the breeder for not sealing the bag.

And if the 96 in your name is your birth year, that would make you 18. That's five years. Some of the people on this forum, that have replied to this thread, have been keeping snakes for longer than you've been alive. You want to talk about acting mature and putting on big boy pants, then comport your self with some respect and compassion for your fellow human beings.

I curse like a sailor but there is a time and a place.


I keep coming back to this thread hoping for good news and see this garbage?

Blah.

Hopefully she turns up. I would literally be sick over this. She is beautiful and hopefully she shows up.

How has no one pointed how big of a doofus this person is for not make sure bag was tied before leaving it on their car seat. Snakes are some of the greatest escape artists in the world, precautions must be taken at all times. Feel sorry for the snake, the beautiful animal is now probably dead somewhere. flippin doofus

Its very sad that rude people like you are even in the community. You are the kind of person that gives any community a bad rep and name. This forum does tell people when they made a mistake and are not aware of it. They do notify people when they are being ignorent to a situation. The OP feels bad enough about this horrible situation. She does not need an ignorent fool like you rubbing it in her face. Snakes are very good at escaping this is not either persons fault. Other people have been helpful by giving advice to help avoid this situation in the future like having a tub for transport and double checking the ties on bags. Everyone has been helpful to the OP except for you. If you dont like it here and how we choose to handle situations then keep your rude worthless comments to yourself and leave. You dont want to be here we dont want you here if you are like this. Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

To the OP unfortunatly everywhere you go you have to deal with fools like Mattboyle96. Please ignore his rude comments. I am sorry that you still have had no luck in finding your snake. It is a beautiful baby albino. As others have stated you never know it may still come crawling out of some part of the car looking for food. Best of luck.

One suggestion, and I'm sorry if someone posted it earlier (this threat has a lot to filter out while scanning through it), but did you by chance happen to check the headliner of the car? I know of an instance here in NC where a Rat snake got into a car (it was hiding in a planter pot bought at a local garden center) and the cars owner saw it slither under her seat when she went to remove the pot. Being afraid of snakes she panicked and had the car brought to the dealership, who took the car apart to find it. It was found coiled up above the headliner which makes sense as it's basically a radiant heat panel.

I do hope you're able to locate her.

Something I've started doing when I go to shows is taking a plastic tub with a locking lid and holes drilled into it and I leave that in the truck. That way, in case I buy anything no matter what they put it in, I move it to my locking tub and I don't have to worry about it. The first time I had a breeder give me my snake in a bag, I drove home with it in my lap and it got out of the bag so I ended up having to hold him the rest of the way and drive with one had. Next day I went out and bought the tubs

That's exactly what I got my first snake in. I should have known better but I've never gotten a snake in a bag before and didn't see him trying to escape. If I would have known he was going to get out I would have definitely tied a knot in the bag. At least I know that for next time, thanks for the tip

Did you inspect the passenger seat he was on extremely well? A lot of times there are seams (velcro, zippered, or otherwise) at the edges, and in between the seat cushion and seat back, where a snake could squeeze into. He could be trapped (or just hiding) in the seat cushion or seat back, versus under the seat.

[Laurenmassx]

Thank you everyone for defending me. I don't think he even went through the actual post but I know that this is my fault I just wish he would have knotted it or something for me, never did I say it was the breeders fault. I really hope that I do find her she was a gorgeous snake and I got her for such a great deal as well :/ if I don't find her I'll have to get a male albino instead. I've stated in the post how upset I was when I lifted up the empty bag I literally had a break down and called all my reptile friends & got into trouble at work because I told them I wouldn't go in until I found her. It was an accident I never meant for this to happen & didn't think it would happen to me. Thank you everyone for the hope though I still have hope they she is going to slither out soon I'm just giving it time for right now and hoping that nothing is wrong with her.

Yeah we did, we tore up the care and lifted up the whole entire carpeting on both sides of the car. We took off all the side panels everything, she was nowhere to be seen :/

yeah we took out the entire passenger seat and inspected it, we couldn't find her anywhere inside of it.
