Oh, it is love.

Just thought I'd show a photo of my Albino girl, 'Slater', and my caramel coastal boy, 'Bellamy', having some late night cuddles last night.

The cage is kept very warm, although this is the first time I've seen them together.

What I found funniest is that both of them had their heads facing each other.

 

[saintanger]

some of mine do that too, how old are they?

 

[Djbowker]

About 6 months, they've been really friendly since day dot.

 

[Djbowker]

In fact, they're so friendly, they decided to escape together.

Thats no good mate, did you find them?

 

[Djbowker]

I've found one, who was under the fridge near the cage.
Of course, he's just the standard caramel.

Good to hear that you found one and good luck finding the other. They usually do not go too far, make sure you pull the fridge right out because that is a really warm spot up in the back.

Hopefully she sees my tears, and comes out of hiding.

If you found one near the fridge check the grate/metal thingy (technical term) that runs up the back of the fridge, its nice and warm and Ive had one make a bee line straight for it, you may need to remove the grate to get to it though. Hope you find it.

Haha, thats why I called it the warm spot up the back, I couldn't remember the technical term like you have used.

Unfortunately because its just a bar fridge, it doesn't have one on the outside >.<

Maybe turn the fridge off then so it isn't nice and warm and put a heat mat with hide nearby to entice your snake out. Just remember though if your snake is hiding in the fridge somewhere that the fridge is cheaper to replace than the snake if you have to.

 

[BeZaKa]

Bummer, others have suggested to leave a heat mat out (maybe a tile on top) with their regular food on top over night, you may have to regularly check to see if it comes back for it. As Andy said it most likely wouldn't have wandered off to far, best of luck.

So let me get this straight. You are putting a caramel coastal and albino Darwin in together?

Its a completely sealed unit.
The other one was just curled up underneath.

 

[reptileaddiction]

Can I enquire as to why you'd be putting two different sub-species in together?

At six months they are a little young to breed if that is what you are worried about. I personally wouldn't keep any snakes together even if they were both the same subspecies except for breeding purposes.

At six months you could keep them in 30L tubs with heat cord underneath to heat both. Pretty cheap option which offers a lot of piece of mind. You can get some really good tubs which are virtually escape proof.

I hope you find her. I would be suprised if she went to far.

 

[Djbowker]

I'm still so amazed at how easy the coastal was to find.
I guess a night of baby powder is on the cards.

 

[Djbowker]

I FOUND HER!
So, after pulling out my bed, my housemates bed, my cupboard, 3 fridges, a washing machine, 3 set of drawers, a linen cupboard, searching under my house, a stationary cupboard, taking off all my sheets, taking apart 2 lounges, bam.
I walked back into my room, defeated, went to get a PS3 game, saw a tail.

I may have cried.
