As the title says I wasn't careful enough during feeding and one of the subadult garters got loose in the house. After tearing the house apart I still couldn't find him and since I had just fed them I knew that he wouldn't be coming out on his own for a few days at least. So, all I could do was wait. While checking on a prego bearded dragon I just happened notice something out of the corner of my eye....a small garter sunning under her heat lamp. Escapee is returned to his cage safely. If the bearded dragon had not been so close to laying she would have had him for supper, lucky for him.
