Had some of the snakes out tonight, OH put them all home securly - or so he says!!!

Our little boy is ill tonight, during one of the trips downstairs for juice / milk / chuck sicky sheets in the machine OH noticed a viv door open, cue frantic searching at midnight!!!! We tore the entire downstairs apart and 45 minutes later we resigned to go back to bed debating what traps to set before we did. I suddenly thought, shoes and ran to the hallway to find our 3.5ft snow Sally curled up in a tiny size 6 boys wellie boot looking at me as if nothing was going on.

In my relief I scooped her up, put her home, and makeshift resecured the viv for tonight. then thought DAMN I should have taken a photo of her in that wellie!
