Well, it finally happened and I had an escapee. This morning Twilight's viv door was open about 2cm but I'm certain I would never accidentally leave it open and the wedge was in the door too. I think maybe I didn't push the wedge in tight enough and he pushed the door along with his nose. You'd be really proud of me as I stayed really calm and remembered all the advice I'd read on the forum when other people lost snakies. I knew there was a good chance he wouldn't have left the room as it's full of PCs and is the warmest room in the house. After about five minutes of searching my husband opened a drawer in the desk and there he was looking at us like nothing had happened. I was sure I'd find him, I was just a little worried he might turn up wrapped around a motherboard or something as I remember seeing a photo of a snake inside a PC once before - Mike would have gone mental if Twi had damaged his precious PC!!

| That was lucky, you'll have to invest in a lock, that should stop any door opening incidents. |

Well done on him turning up.
The snake in the PC was one of mine from a couple years back.

| my OH found one of my corns had escaped about a month after i came out here, found it a week ago 2 doors down in a kids garden play set. she'd been living off the land for 3 months! shes in isolation at the moment waiting for me to get back and put her in a new, more escape proof viv! how she got out is a mistery, how she got out the house is something i will never understand! |
