You know I have more problems with rats and mice getting of than snakes. But I did misplace my male 50-50 ca. king about two years ago.

What happened?

Well I was cleaning top habitat and yes left the door open (I have the Exo Terra).

I searched for two days and literally took everything out of my snake room. No find, so I just said maybe he will turn up after all it was late spring and he had eaten not 2 days prior so what can you do. He would have survived I guess the summer. On the island get in the 80s but we do have freeze and snow sometimes in the winter.

Three weeks later I’m in the back yard and our old female calico cat is tossing something in the air having a good time. I called the wife and when she came out she said “What is that she’s playing with?” Instantly we both realized it was black and with and ran to intercept the event.

Sure enough it was my male king and by now really played out. I checked for the damages and only found 1 puncher close to his tail. Well, he got a good bathing and for a month I applied Neosporin and he is doing fine. In fact he breed both of my female kings that following spring (05-06??).

Now how he got out of the room … under the house … and then loose in the back yard is beyond me.

Yes I do pay closer attention now J
