My blog JD escaped last night!!!It was completely my fault, I´d accidentally left the vivarium door open after changing her water during the afternoon. I came back into the room a few hours later and thought.."Oh my god why are the doors open!!!" checked all around for her but she was gone!!! I completely turned the room upside down looking for her and checked in other rooms too just incase she decided to explore the house a little but no sign. I stayed up the entire night locking the cats in the living room with me so there was no chance of poor JD getting hurt by them, I´d left some food out for her hoping to encourage her out of hiding and checked every few hours but nothing...later the next day my mum was kind enough to help look but after hours of searching we took a break. Me mum then noticed the tv in the room where the snakes are kept wasn´t working properly so she went round the back of the tv and guess what she saw? JD´s little face poking out of a gap IN THE WALL!!!! She knew she couldn´t pull JD out with only her face sticking out of this little gap so she picked up JD´s dinner that was still sitting there from last night and lured her out, thank goodness JD is such a greedy little snakey, she happily slithered out of hiding for a snack... then my mum comes into the living room where I was and says "look what I found!" I leapt up and gave her a big kiss and hug lol, she coiled around my arms bless her and even my brother came and gave her a pet...there she was centre of attention lol, she´s such a character and we´d all be devastated if anything happened to her! I´m so happy she´s back! :) One things for certain, I won´t be making that mistake again!

They truelly are experts at hiding. I´ve had her since she was a tiny hatchling too and she´s always been a confident little explorer lol. 22 Mar 2010 09:54 WOW Catherine, Im so glad you found JD and that no harm came of her. Bet she was just as scared as you everything being new to her. Glad things turned out ok in the end xxx |
