Oddly enough, this snake escaped sometime Saturday afternoon. I have a "fish room" where I keep the snake cage, as it has my fish tanks. I went into the fish room to explain to my son that I could not find the snake. The conversation went like this:

"Hi Trevor. I have some bad news. Pilot (the snake's name) escaped sometime yesterday. So we'll have to --AAAAHHHHH!"

The snake was on the floor 2 feet away staring at me. So I picked him up and put him in a container with much higher walls. He is only 14 inches long so I don't think he can climb out. The good thing is he didn't run away when I grabbed him. It's like he heard/felt my voice and came out to see me.

Anyway, in his original container I had cut a slot to put the thermometer wire through. The hole was significantly smaller than his head, but I think he got through that hole.

Weird coincidences have been happening like that for the past 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago when my son and I went snake hunting the conversation went something like this:

Me: We'll start here because we usually start finding snakes right--
Trevor: There goes one!

Yep. It was another water snake zipping towards the stream.

(I'm doing a survey of all snakes in a local park, logging weather, snake type, snake length, noise levels, etc. Not officially for anyone, just for my curiosity.)
