you're exaggerating
but I do have a good one
this is about a snake that didn't so much escape, as go for a stroll
at the time we were living in the apartment that had up to that point had over 8 water leaks coming through the ceiling - one of them so extensive that a room flooded and they'd had to replace the sub-flooring which had buckled
so I was tuned to drips
which is what alerted me that lovely evening when we had hung out on the couch for a while with Drache, the big king
so I heard dripping and I went to investigate
what I found was some light coloured stuff dripping down between two tall book cases and I was about to get really pissed (this would have been the second time we'd had concrete running down a wall from some project unstairs), when I saw where the stuff was coming from
I suppose I was grateful that he dumped between the book cases, instead of on top
the thing is - he hadn't even been missed

are we talking all the escapes? (total 6)
or only the successful (?) ones - 3 (2 found dead, one still missing and not expected to turn up)?
or am I supposed to include unsuccessful attempts (snake stuck between sliding doors)?
and what about snakes forgotten on the couch, taking a stroll around the place (see above)?

[anji1971]

Don't include the strolling snakes,
We'll just call those ones "victims of forgetfulness"
or perhaps you can say you were 'enhancing' the snake's education by letting them roam free and discover......

[anji1971]

Although it sounds like some (mummified!) may have "discovered" just a bit too much!!

it's the big one - he does need the exercise

[brandon0133]

include all atempts at getting out of the tank or them getting out,,it dont matter

[drache]

the one that goes for a stroll has never tried to get out of his tank
there may however be countless unsuccessful attempts (must install those cameras) by the usual suspects
and I need to add that the six attempts above were executed by a total of four snakes, one of them a repeat offender (3 times) and I've learned a lot from her
