Definitely going to do a head count daily.

I think we might need a pic of Maria so that we can all feel better Kat! It would be nice to see the girl I was so worried about!

[katach]

Will do. I'm at work right now, but I'll do it after I get home.

[Selkielass]

Hooray!
I'm. Glad she didn't stray too far.

[Eileen]

Please tell us you have found Maria. I know exactly how you feel, as I have been there!

[katach]

Yes we found her. She is safe and back in her tank.
I took a few pics, but they were all blurry. I'll do another photo shoot tomorrow. I need to get a good photo studio set up for our snakes. I love to take pics of them, it's just difficult to get pics when you have to hold the camera in one hand and the snake in the other.

good news!

i remember when i was a kid, i lost my first large concinnus in the house. weeks later i heard the neighbors (behind our yard) dog going berzerk and went to investigate. i peeked over the fence and there was my snake, cornered by the dog, hissing and striking. i was so relieved.

That is great news! I lost a corn snake named Rusty back in '85. Of course, I didn't have internet then to ask for help and didn't know enough to set a trap. I never saw any sign of him, even after extensive renovations, not even a shed skin. I figure he must have found a way out. I still think about him, even after this long. I am very cautious with Bev, as she is so tiny, I would never want a repeat of that experience. With any pet diappearance, it's the wondering that is so hard. I'm glad Maria is back safe and sound.

One concinnus escapee i had last summer never turned up. She was quite large. Those usually turn up in the house within a few weeks. Hard to miss. No funny smells so she must have gotten out of the house. At least, I hope she did.
