So the other night I got home at about 2am, quite drunk and sat watching TV in the living room.
Noticed something under the sofa and at first I thought it was a coat hanger or something, but as I looked it slowly moved back out of sight.

My snakes have never managed to escape before, and their vivs are in the dining room, so I didn't immediately think it was a snake lol! Scared me for a minute til I realised and quickly fished Espher out.

Getting locks soon for on the tanks, and have wedged the doors shut.
I'm a little skeptical though, her viv was open nearly a foot and she's never managed to even open it a little bit before.
So I think my mum or dad have had her out and not shut the door.. Don't want to accuse them of it though lol!!


Anyway, it was very strange and i cant get the image of her peeping out from under the sofa out of my head!

Close call.

I would say when a snake gets out it's nearly always human error...

Hmm, can't really see her going to the effort of opening the door a foot lol! Think you need to have gentle words with your folks!

I know lol, thats what i thought.. It'd just be a snake sized gap i would have thought if shed done it herself.

and Raksha, you should probably fix it so the anacondas cant get out :S
