    Live,escape,get caught together.

    Here's the story. I have 3 snakes together in quarantine. They were all caught from the same farm yard area. 2-female T.s.p. and 1-female radix. They were being kept in a 20 gal. with one of those screened plastic lid. You know the kind of lid I'm talking about. The one that has had the plastic melted and deformed from a heat lamp. The kind that doesn't fit right. The kind you have to put weight on to keep it flat. So now you know how they got out. I didn't put the weights back on. They had a 24 hours head start on me. They got lose in the basement. There's only about a 1,000 places for them to hide.
    My utility room has a furnace, water heater, refrig and freezer in it.
    3 of them have heat sources, so the furnace is out of the picture at this time of the year. My freezer and refrig. sit beside each other and have relatively the same components.
    All three snakes were found together under the refrig. They had to travel through 3 rooms to get there. But yet, all 3 were found together. Very interesting. At least I think so.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    It's a pack mentality- the more I hang around with, the greater the odds that I won't be the one to get snagged.

    Perhaps they hope to enrichen the lives of those poor souls they left behind by tales of thier daring deads when they return from which they came. Furthermore purhaps your gang of radixes has a king among the slithering hoard, that which has thus alluded your prodding.. Allusive are the ways of the Radix..

    I thought I was the radix king, at least in my house.
