FRUSTRATION... lost snake is "found"

[KITKAT]

School is OUT!

Starting tomorrow I should have time to sit and try to out-wait her! I just hope she has not moved... my neighbor is digging up the flower bed near her hide.

Well, my neighbor has been digging around in her flower beds, and Ruby apparently has decided to move her digs. She has not been seen for three days now. However, my neighbor is a clutter-person and her yard is full of various objects, weeds, etc. This morning I found a large garter shed along the side of her house near her goldfish pond. I hope to re-discover Ruby there!

I have purchased 2 dozen minnows and will put them in a container on the lawn near the corner of my house, in hopes I can draw her to that area. It is about 20 - 30 feet from the area where I found the shed...

You have some really friendly neighbors to let you snoop around their yard looking for your lost snake! I smell cookies for them

Let's hope the minnows lure Ruby home!

Great idea... but it will have to be some other treat. My neighbor is allergic to wheat.

Damita also fosters rescue cats for my rescue organization, so we are pretty good friends!

Earlier today, came a knock at my door.

It was my Fedex man, bearing a surprise!

He had a box, and in the box was a new garter baby! A flame!

This baby is a male, and I have been disappointed that I have been unable to capture Ruby, our escaped girl from two years ago, who showed up in my neighbor's flower bed (see thread below).

I settled the new baby in, and watched as he explored his new digs.

Then I set about working on some tax issues for my cat rescue... and a few hours later, came a knock at my door.

It was my neighbor who lives on the OTHER side of my house, bearing a surprise!

He was holding RUBY, our escaped girl!

He says she only bit him twice... ha ha! But then settled down nicely to being handled.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
(did that sound like Howard Dean? LOL!)

I will try to post photos later today.
