Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

do I ever know the feeling
at least you had some very legitimate moments of panic
you'll never believe the dumb panic I went into a couple of weeks ago
Jeff's brother had given us one of those fake rock hides for christmas and I had filled it with damp moss and put it into the tank with the new kingsnake
except when I went to look for the snake the next time, I didn't remember, and I totally freaked when I couldn't find the snake by sifting through the care fresh
I also couldn't find the snakes damp hide (likely a zip-lock food container with a hole cut in the lid)
I was devastated
I was totally convinced that last time I changed the water in the tank I had taken the snake out in the damp hide and then forgotten to put it back in the tank
and then of course, at some point, I would have just composted the contents
man - did I have a big hole of loss
so I went to just toss stuff back in the tank, and I noticed this rock I couldn't remember . . .
