Well.....As you do on a Saturday night....you go out drinking....in this case it was my mates 21st....so needless to say it was going to be a interesting night.
I had one of my new enclosures dropped round that my granddad had made up for me....in a hurry i cut up the marine carpet, stuck a light bulb in the light cage thing and set up the heat cord...i dont know if any of you know of the round things you get to put on computer desks to feed cords through...well that was what i was using for my cages. in this case...you have to be carfull cause if you put it in the wrong way the snake can push it out (or so i found out the hard way)
so this was my mistake....i was in a hurry to go out and didnt think about the way i installed the cable feeder thingy. so i go out, have fun and a few drinks like you do....and get home at 2am in the morning...i go in to see my babies like i always do...and realise one of the water dishes is low on water....as i get it out and turn around to go fill it up o see my 2 1/2 year old carpets crawling over the feeding cage for my spotteds...."holly crap how did he get out!' was the first thought that run through my somewhat foggy brain as i pick him up and get my mate to hold him and check out the cage...
And you guessed it...he pushed the cable thingy out and decided to go for a walk. So i yell out to my partner Jake (who was prob in a worse state than i was) to get him to fix the cable thingy up for me....we fix the problem and put the snake back...everything is fine...
so i do a check of the other cages....and yup....one of the spotteds did the same thing in the other cage....but this time wasnt siiting right next to me feet! so needless to say after alot of swearing a cursing...pulling the snake room apart...we find the other behind the bookcase at 3am in the morning!!
I just want to say....thank goodness i keep my snakes in the spare room where the door is always closed so that when things like this happen....there are only so many hiding places in one room instead of the whole house.....
So after a very stress full early morning....everything worked out okay!!
Just have to say i am now so paranoid about them getting out im checking them every 5mins when im at home!!!
