    Re: Help!! Climber Went A.W.O.L.!

    Guys,
    Regrettably... I have moved almost everything in my basement. I have checked shoes, boots, toy boxes, christmas decorations.... Numerous times....! No luck so far...
    I have placed flour all over the floor totally tickng-off my very understanding wife No tracks...
    I have placed lights on the floor at night covered with towels. I have placed out several water bowls (thanks for the tip, Shanley!) and worms. No sign of Climber.... yet...
    You will laugh when I tell you I feel like I'm being watched by him curled up somewhere lauhghing at me while watching me getting very frustated to say the least.
    My other Garters refuse to talk. They're all in cohoots together.... @!#$%^
    I really fear I will find Climber dead years from nowin some box... He was a really a unique Garter as he was always trying to escape more than ANY of my other garters...

    The babies are doing real well, eating very small scissor cut (great tip, Wayne!!) worms and small minnows. My 4 Florida blue stripe babies I bought from Scott Felzer eat minnows and worms like crazy!
    I hope I can catch Climber on the move very soon...
    Jack

    Hope you find him Jack- bet he'll be in the last place you look.


    I also like the scissors advise for worms- lot nicer than my pocket knife.

    Have you checked under appliances? Washers, driers dish washers etc? My checkered girl was missing for 4 weeks until I found her under the drier.

    Places I have found missing snakes;
    In the kitchen near the appliances, in the bedroom climbing up some rods that were stacked in the corner, and in the underwear drawer.

    I found a tx rat snake once on the very top shelf of a book shelf INSIDE a partially sealed cardboard box with stuff in it. Under the stuff... Just an example that they can be ANYWHERE. So check the unexpected.

    My ball python showed up on the very top shelf of the reptile room, accross the isle from his cage. Had to be a tough climb.

    Our Pueblan escaped twice now.. The first time he was way up high on a shelf, coiled up.

    He knocked a bottle off the shelf, and I noticed that the bottle was missing, saw it on the floor. Figured that since New York does not have any eartquakes that something else had caused the bottle to fall...

    Looked up where it belonged, and there was Oreo looking like Ha! silly human I never thought you would look for me up here!

    The second time, well he went inside this chair. Hacked a nice piece of furniture to bits getting him out.
