Where did she go??? Panama panic stations!

[gregmonsta]

Thought I'd share our nightmare ...

The other night I looked into Panama's quaranteen tank and I couldn't see her anywhere.

Instantly worried, as she can always be seen poking her cheeky little face out from somewhere, I started poking about the substrate, checking the substrate and frantically heading for red alert!!!

Couldn't find the wee blighter!!!

The cat was thrown unceremoniously out of the living room and a frantic search of the tank area commenced.

Terri decided to check the tank again while I kept an eye on the cat incase our naughty ribbon had made it to the hallway.

30 seconds later Terri shouted for me ... I raced into the living room for her to show me this ....

Even when you think you've checked the whole tank ... you can never check enough ROFL!!!

It probably made perfect sense to Panama. :D

[gregmonsta]

You can tell by the look on her face ... "What!?!?!?" :D

[drache]

[gregmonsta]

:rolleyes: Oh no ... :rolleyes: no pity from her!!! It's her new all time favourite place. Doubt I'll ever set eyes on her again lol.

Something tells me when it's food time she'll be out and about.:D

[gregmonsta]

Too true :D can't possibly keep this girl quiet when the food bearing forcepts do their rounds ;)

[Repfanatic]

Oh, that's so funny! I know it's not when your snake is "missing".....and even a little bit after, but I think they know what they're doing when they find their new spots. lol

[count dewclaw]

Too funny! They do like to keep us guessing...

[Sid]

Gregg, there is no end to what the little tykes will pull on you.:D

[lestat]

Did you count to a hundred. She one. They get every where.

[thamnophissirtalis]

look at her face, it was her own little joke ;( my own thamnosis sirtalis has gone missing this evening, good thing he's smart, I hope he makes it, any advise?

[Quibble]

I just LOLed!

i know now not to underestimate the hiding power of the snake. ;D

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

haha!!! I love it when this happens. You panic. You freak. Your heart is racing as you frantically spray aspen across the entire room. your poor snake. with dogs, cats, and people running around... how will it ever live?!

Once, this happened to me and my mom, our beloved little graybanded kingsnake had "escaped". The cage was up high in the wood units. So we took out the hide and looked under the water bowl and ruffled the bedding... nothing. Searched for two hours. all over the house. sprinkled flour.... I went back in to grab the water bowl to put out on the floor.... turn out she was soaking in her water the whole time!!!! since the cage was up high neither of us could see into, or thought to look in it!!!! :D:D:D

[k2l3d4]

I had that happen with Hudina .... . how do you think she got her name? She use to hide in this fake plant thing and it took me a couple of hours to find her.. finally figured out her spots and have not let her have too many itty bitty crooks and crannies with out me first checking them all out.

[Snaky]

Great pictures :D
She really got you there:p

[Sputnik]

Oh, wie schoen ist Panama! ;)

Zulu used to squish herself into the roof space of her treehouse, too. I'm sure they play these tricks on us on purpose.

[gregmonsta]

It's their favorite form of amusement ;)
