Afterthought: I don't know why it took so long to find Vine...wouldn't we all have searched every inch of our own property first? He obviously delayed
reporting that she was loose, not wanting to face the reactions from neighbors & the town. So to have her turn up in his own shed just seems like he
looked everywhere else first, no doubt in a panic, before checking his own shed...? Really unfortunate, both for him & for all of us not wanting more
places passing regulations & bans on the creatures we love. (Lesson: remember that "snakes go in shed"....how appropriate to find her there, lol.)
