oops. nvm about the gallery. here he is a few months ago. forgot my pics didnt upload to the gallery correct..

so you can see...he is a big boy. no way he is lost in the enclosure sadly

I think so...around that. and quite chunky. always a good eater. heck. I'll install a gd microchip on him. I just REALLY hope he didn't get outside last night...if he did, he is dead without a doubt...it is SO cold at night already...but I'm telling myself that 1. he wouldn't go for the cold and 2. we would hear the door rattling...ugh! just come out little guy.

and yes that's for sure...I can only imagine the heat from his lamp that's been on recently made the clips loose enough for him to push up. from now on when he's back...a giant heavy weight will be on top.

yep I looked outside, we have a little entry way and then 4 stairs that go up to the ground level. looked all around, there are some hiding places(recycling bin, old shoes) out there immediately outside the door so I hope?? if he got outside he would go for one of those. I think I am getting myself worked into a "worst case scenerio" thing when I bet I'm gonna find the bugger in a closet I already checked...

well. tonight I'll be staying up and keeping quiet with flour + bags EVERYWHERE. right now I have the rat and heater in the kitchen...will set up his old small tub + uth on the floor in case he changes his mind about this big escape plan. maybe will leave the windows open and let the house cool down so he HAS to come out and look for heat? :s

[sufficio]

that's true. if the windows were open they do have full screens so no way to escape...but the house does get cold enough on its own to maybe make him come out. thank you for all your help and suggestions, I really really appreciate having someone to talk to through this!!

WE FOUND HIM WE FOUND HIM!!!!! HOLY COW. My partner got home and we set about to empty the closet again. And he just exclaims, THERE HE IS! And THERE IS THE LITTLE :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:. on a SHELF in the closet over 5 feet off the ground!!!!! inside a rockband drumset tube of ALL things. Omg. he was just poking his head down like "hey, what's up?" cold as ice but he's in his warm hide now and recovering from his adventure.

so what have I learned?!!? we are buying a heavier duty tub lid for SURE. til then weighing down the tub with books and weights.

also learned that his fat butt can fit in a 1/2 inch gap under a closet door!!!

also learned that apparently! I have an arboreal ball python who decided to not go on the floor, but over 5 ft up!!!! omg.

thank you all SO MUCH for the support this has been a nightmare but I am SO RELIEVED.
