    you're exaggerating
    but I do have a good one
    this is about a snake that didn't so much escape, as go for a stroll
    at the time we were living in the apartment that had up to that point had over 8 water leaks coming through the ceiling - one of them so extensive that a room flooded and they'd had to replace the sub-flooring which had buckled
    so I was tuned to drips
    which is what alerted me that lovely evening when we had hung out on the couch for a while with Drache, the big king
    so I heard dripping and I went to investigate
    what I found was some light coloured stuff dripping down between two tall book cases and I was about to get really pissed (this would have been the second time we'd had concrete running down a wall from some project unstairs), when I saw where the stuff was coming from
    I suppose I was grateful that he dumped between the book cases, instead of on top
    the thing is - he hadn't even been missed

    are we talking all the escapes? (total 6)
    or only the successful (?) ones - 3 (2 found dead, one still missing and not expected to turn up)?
    or am I supposed to include unsuccessful attempts (snake stuck between sliding doors)?
    and what about snakes forgotten on the couch, taking a stroll around the place (see above)?

    Don't include the strolling snakes,
    We'll just call those ones "victims of forgetfulness"
    or perhaps you can say you were 'enhancing' the snake's education by letting them roam free and discover......

    the one that goes for a stroll has never tried to get out of his tank
    there may however be countless unsuccessful attempts (must install those cameras) by the usual suspects
    and I need to add that the six attempts above were executed by a total of four snakes, one of them a repeat offender (3 times) and I've learned a lot from her

    You guys are scaring me... I'm so afraid I'm going to loose one!!! The Pugets are so small I'd never find them!! I think if one of the ball pythons ever got out, she would crawl down to the floor, yawn, and take a nap... lol
