Next up is Ash, my Texas Graybanded Kingsnake. He's considered an alterna phase, and as such has minimal orange.
This guy managed to squeeze out of a ventilation hole that safely contained Noodle at 6 grams when he was 12 grams within 48 hours of a meal. We triple-checked everything and that's the only possible way he could get out. He escaped about 1 month after we got him, last winter. And proceeded to make himself scarce for 4.5 months. We were moving our snake room in May and while setting up the new space spotted a small shed... and found him under an automan 5 minutes later having only lost about 1 gram.
Day 1
4.5 months after AWOL he turned up under this
Took a BIG drink (drank nearly half that bowl)
And took a meal a few hours later
Here's what he looked like when he turned up
Some more random pics:
He is now almost 60 grams at his last weight check, growing slow and steady.
