I had to take a call from work during feeding time tonight. When I returned, all of the food was gone and one of the little piggies was packed like a sausage. Guess which one:

5864

They look content. Garters sure love their grub.

[Steveo]

I have, once again, underestimated their appetites. Had to thaw some more because I don't think either of the Pugets or the Scotts got any. Also had to break up a food fight while on the phone.

Bottomless pits I tell you! Well atleast we can say that he/she is a good feeder :D

[ProXimuS]

Looks like somebody found the food;)

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Do we get a cookie if we guess the right one?

[EasternGirl]

Great pic! Yeah...sometimes I have to take one of my babies out and put him in a separate container because two of them are such pigs he doesn't always get food. And I have definitely broken up my share of food fights.

The scotti got away from me last night when I was trying to feed her individually. She jumped out of my hand, squirmed around on the screen a bit, then took a 6' plunge to the floor. I grabbed her gently as she tried to run under my dresser but she wiggled out of my hand. I spent almost an hour searching the room but she must have slipped under the carpeting against one of the walls. I imagine she'll turn up but I hope I see her first and not my cat.

[ProXimuS]

Oh no:eek: I'll have my fingers crossed that you find her!

[guidofatherof5]

Best of luck finding her.

[Mommy2many]

I hope you find her first too!

[Invisible Snake]

I hope you find her, good luck!

[jaleely]

oh dang that sucks!

I started feeding mine seperately right away (i only have two though so that's easy...sorta). MAN they wiggle. I did a "drop" the other day, about two feet and the male bounced off the carpet, since he LEAPT from my hands. So annoying *lol* he's fine, but freaked me out.
They are a handful to try to seperate. They wiggle and squirm and then suddenly start eating *lol*

Any sign of her yet? I had a checkered get out of a tiny hole in her viv, and she turned up 3 days later (our cat actually spotted her, I heard him start "playing" with something on the floor as I was asleep in bed, it woke me up and jumped out to perform the perfect rescue). At the moment I've only got one small enough and quick enough to get away from me, I'd forgotten how wriggly they are when they're small. Good luck finding her, and I wish the worst of luck to your cat.

[EasternGirl]

That is awful! I hope you find her soon. I have had some near misses with my snakes...thankfully I always caught them before they got away. I have three cats and an angry chihuahua! Is there anyway you can close the cat off in a separate area of the house until you find her?

[Steveo]

No sign of the scotti. One of my wandering babies escaped last week through an air hole, but my cat aletered me to its presence and I put it back. I keep waiting for it to emerge in search of water or food, but for all I know it could have gone under the carpet and through the floorboards into another apartment. I've tried getting my newly-rescued German Shorthaired Pointer to sniff it out, but apparently the whole room smells like snakes :rolleyes:

Sometimes the cat alerts me to invisible things in the snake room. I can't tell if she saw something or if she's just a crazy cat. I always look but have not found anything.

[guidofatherof5]

Here's an idea. Take the dog in the room and sit very quietly.
The dog can hear very minute noises and will alert you.
