The Mystery of…

The invisible snake. I have had very poor luck raising my baby snakes, but have managed to keep two alive and healthy, but the other day was a little confusing. I transferred them to my large viv and they seamed to settle in pretty well. One loves the branch and the other liked to climb up the side of the viv. So I thought I might have a little success after all. I replaced the solid wood top with a screen and that seamed to be working pretty well, until I checked on them and there was only one snake there. Oh &^%$*&^%$^%. One must have escaped! I took everything out and looked and looked..….. gone! Oh well only one left. That is until yesterday and guess what? There were two snakes there. What the…….? I know there was only one the other day. I could not imagine where he was hiding last time, until today when I went down and he was resting on the lip where the wood top used to sit. Well he took one look and spotted me and scooted down a tiny crack where the molding on the front covers the corner of the viv. That is where he was hiding. He must have gone in headfirst and backed out when he felt it was safe. Sneaky little buggers! Glad he is back, and I might add getting ready to shed.
