Guys-- I am LOOSING MY MIND--- my ball python Squiggles is GONE. Gone, vanished. The last time I know I saw her was Wed or Thurs... I saw her lying under her log, while Fluffy was still under her fav. hide. I never looked for Squiggles later on after I saw she wasn't under the log, I assumed she'd gone back to Fluffy as the two are almost always together.

I went to get her a few hours ago to take her out to feed and found her gone... Fluffy is there under her normal hide. I don't look at them everyday because they don't DO ANYTHING.

Their tank is a 55 gallon with a wire top. The top fits very snug and there were two lamps on it, but nothing else to hold it down... because they never go up to the top... they never tried to push it up... I have lots of things to climb on in there, that's the tank we glued the pieces of cholla wood to the back wall. So while Squiggles would climb those, she never tried to push at the top. It is quite a tight fit, but I can push it up in the corner with one finger if I try hard.

The top was not moved or crooked.

Fluffy would NOT have eaten her... would she?? She wouldn't, right?? They've been together since last summer.... Fluffy is bigger but not by that terribly much. Did Squiggles suddenly start pushing at the top?? I supposed if she nudged a corner up and got out, it would have fallen back down hard enough to secure back in place...

I am SICK. We've been pouring over the house but omg, there are a million places to hide... I can't believe this has happened!!!!!!!! I am worried sick for her... I know I should have looked at her every day but I got complacent with the balls because everytime you look they are wrapped up together under the hide. They don't MOVE!!!!! But obviously Squiggles DID move... right on out...

Unless... should I have Fluffy x rayed?? She WOULDN'T HAVE... would she??????????
