My son's corn snake escaped. At the time, my other son had pet mice (you know where this is headed) in a huge habitrail set-up with wheels and many many miles of tubes of trails and places for them to go. It was space themed and included a circular space restaurant where you put treats for the mice.

Well, sure enough, about a week later, we find the snake with three large lumps wrapped inside the circular space restaurant (of all places). The funny part was that the remaining mice were busy stuffing the tube trail with bedding so he couldn't get back down to get them. It was hysterical (for me, not my son that lost three pet mice.)

Recently, my tiny carpet escaped. I just transferred him into an exo-terra or something like that and didn't realize how junky the clips were and one snapped and he squeezed out. I was distraught. I love that snake. I found him chilling on my dh's large tropical plant, he looked so natural and comfortable there, like he really belonged there, it was a shame to have to take him off. When he gets a little bigger and I can keep track of him better, I have a feeling it will become his spot.
