Escapee gone for weeks...returns!

[Tori]

Almost 2 months ago I found that the california redsided baby that I separated because she was trying to eat the other babies, escaped. I did all the usual things to find her, but no luck. With my australian water dragons running around I figured she was a goner. Well, tonight I was feeding the other babies. To do that I separate all of them into separate containers which are placed on the floor around the cage until they are all done. Each container has lids so I felt safe to leave the room for a while. When I came back to see if they were all finished I found one in the floor near the containers and figured that one had gotten out somehow! I did wonder why it was so skinny though. I mean even without just eating these babies are good sized. I opened all the containers to put them back into the cage along with the one I picked up from the floor running loose and guess what? All the containers still had their own snakes.....so.. I can't believe she is still alive, I mean, what did she do for water? This is an apartment and there are no holes to outside...I've looked. I am sooooo lucky!

woww thats amazing how big is she? do u have a dog or cat? she coulda drank out of their watrbowls

[Tori]

No cats or dogs, but I have two australian waterdragons that run all over the apartment. They have their water tubs in the livingroom and one of the bedrooms. I don't think this baby is long enough to be able to climb into one though. It is only 12 inches or so and the tubs are 9 inches deep.

Wow, that's great news! Congrats!

That's marvelous news! I would offer her not to much food the first time you give her dinner. So she can slowly start digesting again. Hope she'll recover great

That's great news. Gives hope to those that still have lost snakes.
