    my new escape artists

    yesterday, a friend helped me to move three tanks, accessories and inhabitants to the new place
    I was going to show him my new garters and they were gone!
    it turned out that one of the cage clips hadn't been put on right
    anyway - I was a bit upset
    I mean, I just got these guys and I'd been way more worried about loosing the ringneck, 'cause it's so tiny
    so we went looking, and what happened was kinda funny
    I hear Mark in another part of the house, saying "no, this one's fake" and then I hear him doing some kind of exclamation, not quite eeek - it wasn't fake after all . . .
    we found them - they were headed for the garden
    Mark thought they were so beautiful, they couldn't be real

    no, they aren't
    but I don't freak out as much as I used to (not that it happens often)
    so far every snake I lost has turned up again
    although this was the first time I've ever found them by looking for them
    I guess that sort of thing is much easier in a house with no stuff in it

    thats good to hear that youg ot your garters back!! =) i have to agree it is really stressful when you lose a snake, and i don't know if any one else has noticed this that has lost a snake but, when you go looking for them you never find em but when your least expecting it. =) but its still really great that you found your snakes, i just recently had an escape but got him back!! hope you have good luck movin still =0
