Shannon's Snakes Photo Thread

I have checked it every day since he went missing... He only has 2 hides, one on the left side, and the other is his water bowl which is hollow underneath and where he usually hid. The rest of the cage is bare except for a fake vine. I cleaned all day in the snakeroom. I also searched a bunch of boxes of junk in the basement. No sign of him!!! He's SO grounded!

Don't let him know you're mad until you get him back.
Say things like "I give up, you're the best hider" "You win, I can't find you"
"Mommies getting worried, please come out" See if any of those help.

I tried!! i was actually talking to him down in my basement today...

Have you tried Parseltongue?

I found Casper!! Tonight I was walking down the basement stairs for my daily check when I saw the shelf at the bottom had a bunch of liquor bottles knocked onto the floor. (unbroken thankfully) I knew it was him!! I frantically started searching the shelves in that general vicinity and turned my head and suddenly came face to face with a very MAD, thirsty and hungry snake!!! I wrestled him out and ran him upstairs, boy was he thirsty!!! as I was pouring more water into his bowl he started biting the stream of water... I thought heh! You are probably hungry! He immediately devoured two rats... he NEVER does that!!! I usually have to leave them under his hide over night!! I am so glad he is safe and sound and now with 3x as much sand bags on his cage!!!

That is great news. Now you can yell at him.

[GartersRock]

Great news!! I was worried the mad would turn to sad when you never found him.

[Didymus20X6]

Was he still hung over? Good thing you pulled that intervention. Are you going to be taking him to any 12-step groups?

congrats Shannon
I could not imagine him not turning up, but I was starting to worry
well, now he might be a little clearer as to where his food comes from

See, these kids always want to go their own way, but sooner or later- they realize it isn't so bad under mom's roof! Great news~
