I went to feed the babies last night. No sign of Checkers in her box. I panicked, pulled everything out, but I knew she wasn't there. The lid wasn't latched properly. I searched the shelf they're on, searched high and low but of course she's tiny. I couldn't find her.
I slept fitfully, feeling so guilty, it was my own fault she got out. I searched again this morning but nothing. I was resigned to another snake gone walkies for 3 months.
Then the flatmate came home. He picked up a towel and went 'oh, there she is!' and lo and behold, Checkers, coiled on the floor. I picked her up and yelled at her for scaring me (she didn't look too concerned). Now she's in her box with something heavy on the top. I feel like such a moron for letting her out, especially after Boots got out. |

When I can't find Stanlee in her viv I immediately check that the vent covers are still in place lol can't settle until I've seen her ! |

It's so easily done.
Linguene's viv wasn't closed properly on Sunday. It was only my partners daughter seeing him climbing out that we were lucky enough to catch him. |

The stupid thing is I *have* been overly cautious about checking them, not sure how I let this one slip. must have been tired, I changed their water just after midnight o.O |

I was very lucky :/ I wish all my snakes were like Diego, I let him mooch around the lounge for ages and he always takes himself off home when he's bored. I know he's not going to go missing if he gets out. Plus he's huge and orange, so hard to miss. |

Phew, I felt so awful, when I started reading the first few lines... every keepers nightmare! Lucky her outing wasn't too long :-) Naughty Chequers :-) |
