Shanley - I really hope you find him
if your snakes get out a lot, it's you who's careless though - not the snakes
and as for the cat, I'm sure he's learned to stay away while you're around, but when you're not - all bets are off
I hate to tell you all this while you're worried already, but I'm wishing for less snakes to escape in the future
good luck for your current little escapee
