I had a big Cali king escape on me one time.I was at the beginning of a divorce and moving from one apartment to another.
She escaped a week before I had to move.I hated the landlord so
I didn't tell her about the 5' king snake wandering around on the 3rd floor.
Long story short, she turned up in a local pet shop 7 months and 3 weeks later.
When the owner heard my story she said "yup, that's your snake"
She gave her back to me and waved the $249.00 price tag.![]()
