    My own stupidity!

    I am pretty disgusted with myself. I know that Wandering Garters can eat others, but I still had them in my communal tank. I hadn't seen Mojito, my Similis, in a day, so I checked. He either got out of the tank, or the smaller Wandering had an unplanned meal.

    I am hoping that he's escaped, and I just have to worry about tracking him down. So I have sealed- as much as I can, the room, and I have put out a basking lamp and a water dish with a few minnows. There's a dish of moistened worm bits too, so I hope he comes back.

    As of now, the Wanderings are segregated into another tank- So P*$$ed at my own assumptions.

    I'm pretty sure it just escaped. Especially if the wandering is still alive and not looking like it had swallowed something its own size (or bigger).

    The wandering was a little bit bigger. Not by much. I too hope Mojito made a dash for it, but the screen was weighed down by a brick and a college psych book. Being a small guy, I don't know if he could have gotten through that. I'll post pics of the wandering that I think may have done it.

    Okay, Mojito may be renamed Houdini. I reraked through the various carefresh covered containers. I moved bookshelves, and the lot. I look down, and here he is peeking up through the substrate.

    Color me relieved. I am still going to keep those Wandering eaters away.
