It was bedtime and I went to do a final check on the snakes and tuck them all in. I walked into the big snake room and saw a snake head across the floor. I didn't recognize it and don't have any missing. When I grabbed her I was shocked. She was starving. Skin and bones. She must have gotton into the basement and been avoiding all of us. She's a beautiful green head radix. I took her upstairs for a cool drink of water. I didn't let her have too much for fear she would throw it back up.
Back down to the basement in the hopes she would eat. I just recieved 500 nightcrawler so she's the first to try them. She ate 2 smalls and 1 large. I know she could have eaten more but I want to give her stomach time to adjust to food, again. I'll get a photo of her on Friday and post. I'll be praying for this one. I've never had a snake with this much folded skin. I'm guessing she's lost half her body weight. Poor little thing. I'm sure the smell of all that food in the basement had to have brought her out. I feel bad that I didn't find her sooner. Hopefully she'll make it.
