I have had too many escapes to list........ I had an albino red sider escape this last march...really sucked as some kids next door found her and killed her...when my daughter told me the nieghbor kids had found a snake and killed it, I knew what snake it was....our local snakes hadn't come out of hibernation yet... I was really bummed!! I had a wandering and a valley garter when I graduated from high school. I left that fall for the army. my mom wrote me to tell me that the valley garter escaped. th ey did everything they could short of lifting the house and shaking it to try to find him...he never showed up.
a few years before that I had 3 wandering garters..my first snakes. one escaped. we searched the entire house for him....we watched in moms storage room upstairs...looked at the dust (she kept the room shut) on the hardwood floor for any signs of the snake. I finally gave up after a week or so....a month later i was going up the stairs to my room and found him laying at the top of the stairs!!! he didn't seem to be any worse after no food or water for a month....I was shocked to find him...and happy!!!!
