    Ess...scape!!!

    Noticed this morning that Ess's rat was still on his sacrificial alter. Odd! Then I noticed his door was open 6 inches.
    AAARGH!!!!!!
    And he was gone!
    I tore the balcony to pieces, pulled the spa filters to bits, turned the inside of the house upside down (our front doors are always open) BUT NOTHING!!! Pulled the pot plants apart, dismantled the bookshelves!

    we are on the top floor (4 floors) so I ran around in the gardens downstairs STILL NOTHING!!

    ....sitting on the couch in utter despair I noticed an old cardboard tube leaning against the wall. Looked through and it was blocked! Got a torch out to see a familiar little pink nose and what appeared to be a thin smile.

    HOORAY!

    Ess is for escapologist! What a relief I found him! And it wasn't me who left the door open....but...all's well that ends well.

    Relief indeed. I'm guessing someone's in trouble?

    NUP. Live and learn.

    Darlyn opened the left door (inserted rat) and closed the right! Simple mistake with sliding doors and highly unlikely to recurr. She even checked him out before her 6am shift this morning and he was perched on the rim of his swimming pool as usual. I found him gone 2 hours later so really he had all night to get out but didnt bother until the sun came up.

    I'm so glad I found him. He's a ripper young fella and I really want see his offspring!

    It was me! Guilty!

    I screwed up.
    Feel dreadful, but happy that he was found in a great hiding place.
    Might get him out for a game of hide and seek, apparently he is pretty good at it.

    You guys are so lucky finding the little fella. I lost my olive yearling in much the same way but he never made a re-appearance. I was distraught, I'd never seen a temprament like his straight out of the box, literally a gentle giant, until my little Albino Darwin that is.

    She's awesome and I'd still be beating myself up if I lost her.

    Anyone seen a free range Olive Python in the Northern Suburbs...lol.... He'd be over 2m by now.

    I did see a 3 meter olive in Anula but that was 30 years ago when you still got buff, pigs and crocs wandering the suburbs pretty regularly!
