Strange Bedfellows

[guidofatherof5]

Tonight was as good night as my Hypo Female Bull Snake started eating again. She had been off food for about a month.
While I was feeding her a few mice, I was shocked to see a young radix come out of her hide. The radix came out as if to say "where's mine".
I scooped her up and offered a mouse tail. She ate it and two others. I have no idea where she got out of but she made her way into the Bull snake's enclosure.
I'm glad the little one didn't get crushed.

Glad the little radix is OK.

What a beautiful snake. I don't know much about bull snakes, just the basics. Can you tell me a little about them?? What are they like as pets??

Your enclosures leak like a sieve, Steve.

Your enclosures leak like a sieve, Steve.

I would have to disagree with you.
I think sieve is a little two strong a word.
There is also the chance this was a wild visitor.
Maybe it's more like my house leaks like a sieve:D
Too be honest, I do think this was one of mine that escaped.

Come on, you find escapees in strange places every other day. :D

As for the possibility that it was a wild visitor, I don't see how that makes the enclosure and less sieve-like. ;)

Never everyday:D and I get a lot of wild visitors all year long.

This was a small(4-6 month old) radix that entered an enclosure that was built for an almost 7 foot Bull Snake. I would never try to house small snakes in an enclosure like this. ;) It is Bull Snake escape proof.:D

All things said, I am thankful the little radix was able to get in. It had access to a warm hide and fresh water.
