Oh good grief... so I decided to change out Desdemona's tank (she's the kingsnake) today to the Care Fresh bedding. So I started pulling everything out of her tank... and after all was out, I hadn't seen her. So I start digging in the aspen... nothing!!! So of course I panic... she is NOWHERE, GONE, and I keep looking and looking and I can't find her...
I'm thinking the whole time about when the baby milksnake did this to me-- she had crawled up under and into that one fake rock decoration. But Des doesn't have anthing like that in her tank!! The only two things in her tank that are possible to crawl into and not be seen are her damp hide box (which I've emptied) and the goat skull:
So I look all over the skull, but I mean, it's a SKULL, you can see all around and thru it... or can you? And then I peer, for like the 10th time, into the brain cavity...
And there she is, the rotten little so-and-so. I'd missed her before. And I couldn't get a good pic of her in there, but if you look on the right side you can see some black and white.
Oh, the brat!! She scared me to death!! I swear I could hear her snickering... :-)
