I think he was planning it all along. Just watching me... sitting in his water dish... waiting for his window of opportunity... which apparently came in a 1 min. window after I put the worm in with him and before I changed his bedding to find him.... vanished!!!

Sigh. The tank was already used when we were conned into buying it. You have to be aware when you're closing it because the lid is warped. I wasn't because the snake has been so lethargic lately and he's never tried this before. He shed his skin and then peaced out.

Boo, I say. Boo to this, snake!! Boo!! Not cool!!

We just moved into a new one bedroom apartment, so it's better than if he had escaped at the other house, but still. Boo.
