after 3 months mu corn *Tango* went missing, i was absolutely heart broken! only a few hours ago today, a guy from across the street knocked on my door asking me if i had lost a snake, he brought it in a bag and to my amazement it was him (but a lot bigger!) haha! When he first was missing, i was heartbroken and i searched everywhere looking from inside my shoes to inside the washing machine, i started heating up mice at night hoping he would sense it and come back but everything failed! I was very optimistic but as the days and months went by, i started giving up hope. It has just made my whole life that he is home! for the people that have lost theirs, you might be reading this and thinking well everybody has their own story to tell and not every snake comes back, but believe in when i say dont give up hope! think about how many peoples snakes go missing and how many stories you hear that they turn up..even if it is years later its better late then never i say! |

Awesome news...I'm intrigued though, does your neighbour know you to be a snake owner or was it pot luck? |

that's brilliant! congrats! what a lovely neighbour too - worth getting them a prezzie i think better than a friends neighbour who, when my friend lost her snake, found it on the pavement outside and promptly phoned the local paper!! then the RSPCA, and then the local council! (would have saved her a fortune in phone calls if she'd just knocked on my friend's door, afterall, the neighbour knew she has snakes) |
