So today it's my day off, and I'd arranged to go and collect a (to me at least) rather expensive new snake which I've been dreaming about for some years.
Picked up the snake no problem after a 1.5 hour drive to the other side of London. Sellotaped it into its Braplast tub, and drove home again.
On arrival at my flat I excitedly got my camera ready for pictures, made sure his new faun was ready, opened the tub and was greeted by..... nothing. Snake was gone.
Legged it back to my car and carefully start sorting through all the assorted rubbish that's in there (mainly horse riding gear and empty Dr Pepper bottles) whilst cursing my way through the Oxford Dictionary of swear words.
In my panic, I hadn't realised that my ever-useful Honda, Harold, had locked the doors whilst the car was open, meaning that when I shut the passenger door to go to the drivers side, I was locked out, with my car and flat keys locked in...
Ran to the local locksmith to beg them to break into my flat, which they did, grabbed my phone and rang the RAC, only to be told I'm no longer a member because I no longer live at home.
15 minutes and £203 later, I'm a member again, and they were even kind enough to boost me to top priority because an animal was involved.
Went to stand by my car and await the arrival of my knight in shining RAC van. Whilst trying to kill myself with cigarettes, I'm approached by a friendly Asian man who asks what's wrong with me. I give him a quick debrief and whilst peering through my windows he makes a joke that my car is so muddy it looks like I've been farming in it. I explain that I work on a farm as a horse riding instructor and he then proceeds to tell me that he is an actor and he needs riding lessons, then asks if I'll give him a discount if he "makes me his girlfriend", an offer which I politely declined.
He then tells me that his brother was recently murdered, having been lured from right outside my flat late at night, and was then buried in a flower bed by the murderer and his accomplice. Wondering why he is telling me this, he explains that he is on his way to the hospital with his toenail, which came off last night, to have his feet checked for fungus. Nice.
Anyway, the RAC man turned up, followed by my somewhat bemused boyfriend, and got me into the car within about 10 minutes, before running back to his van and shouting "Good luck!" at me as he sped off.
So now, here I am, sat in my car with some Jaffa Cakes and a Red Bull, trying to lure out said snake with a nice fuzzy.

Sorry, got to laugh at that one. You couldn't write better than that as a script for Miranda Hart. ROFL 
Go on, final scene: You get bored waiting and scene switches to little Corn Snake getting tore into a Jaffa cake. Pan back to you with a rather surprised expression and only half a mouse in one hand.  |

Thanks guys.
Unfortunately he managed to dive out, grab the fuzzy and head back in before I had a chance to stop him. He's seriously quick.
I've left out bottle traps so I hope he's still hungry. |

whereabouts inside the car is he??? if you saw where he popped out of to nick the fuzzy, can't you partially dismantle where-ever it is?
cos if he's now eaten, you need to get him to heat asap to digest-
omg- don't snakeys cause a disproportional amount of stress, considering how 'low maintenance and easy to keep' they are!!!
I hope you can convince him to come inside the house soon...
