As I walked through the big snake room I opened and greeted most of my snakes. I came to the large male enclosure. I say large, as in size and in the amount of males I house in it.
I noticed most (approximately 20) of my boys were in the unheated hide(they have 3 hides in this enclosure). They were all looking out and I thought I would get some guy time with them. I opened the west door to the enclosure and sat down on the floor so I could be closer to them. I then started talking to them as I always do. A few of them started to come out to me, as I was only a few inches away.
Then, for some unknown reason Midnite bolted out of the hide and headed towards the other end of the enclosure. I swear everyone followed him. He rounded the far turn and came back towards me with all his buddies in hot pursuit. As they came to the open door they all proceeded to jump out onto the floor. It was a mass escape "shook and awe" style.
I scrambled to get everyone(which I did) back in their home.
I've never seen anything like it.
They sure caught me off guard.
