Systems ??? Stolen or Escaped ???

Well we are disheartened to learn today that the one snake my children had handled is gone. We feel pretty strong that someone may have stolen the snake out of the shop. The snake was in his glass home on this shelf around a corner out of view of the register and it would have been easy for anyone to steal it.

We do hope that it may have escaped because that means he is still in the building somewhere, its a pretty sealled building and not many places for the snake to escape outside.

To make matters worse, the customer we special ordered the snakes for no longer wants it because they were a matched breeding pair.

So if the snake does not show up in the next couple days, I have elected to purchase the other snake. the one some of you saw coiled up in the water bowl. She has a cool personality. So I may become a mom to a snake. never thought I would say I'd buy a snake.

So she would be housed in my room with a keyed lock on my door and kids will not be able to play with it untill boyfriend is around. They will be able to observe him under my supervision only without handling. but the handling will must be done with my bf present.

So its time to learn about this cool snake and maybe eventually I'll loosen up to handle her myself.

So far my brood includes.

2 kids
One service goldren retreiver dog.
One cat
one crown tail betta fish
one long fin betta fish
snake????? remains to be seen.

Look closely how it was housed for its short time. probably an escape if the snake was new to the (possibly unsecure?) enclosure---you will probably find it very soon if thats the case...

No he was very secure, would be pretty diffucult for him to have escaped. We already looked at that.

Then he was nabbed---simple

Ive seen snakes put there entire life effort into escaping an unopenable enclosure---if they can move it slightly, they are goin thru it...

Ahh sorry to hear that, Neo! I hope you don't lose a customer, but it would be cool to gain a snake

I hope it works out and you do find it, though.

Pox on the thief/troll, if that is the case!

LOL, I love watching snakes, they spend 99% of their time "probing" their cage looking for ways out, even if they've been in the cage for 10 years.
