While working in the snake room I saw a young wild radix watching me from on top of the humidifier(not in use). The little scrub just sat and watched me as I went about my business only 2 feet away. I walked away and moved back in out of sight to the little scrub. As I grabbed for the snake it dropped off the humidifier and fell down into the sump pump area which was covered by a platform I had built.
There was nothing I could do but disassemble the platform to get to the sump area. Pulling the top off the sump I spotted the little scrub in the water. I also found the body of a little one that didn't make it. I was glad to be able to get this one some help. The snake is already eating. The only problem I can see is a small abrasion on the vent.
