Well, I went to mist my female retic today, and guess who was missing. I had changed her to a new "under the bed" rubbermaid bin with clips on it. I guess when I got home last night and had her out, I didn't lock one the clips properly. I found her in about 15 minutes, but damn that put me into panick mode. I guess I'll be double checking my cages to make sure I locked them properly. Of course she was the only snake that I don't weigh down the top on... I've also got one of my "Quick Access" safes on top of her lid now for extra security. :oops:

Man, that sure sucks! At least you found her, though! I think I have forgotten to lock the tops a few times, and it's not cool to come home with no snake in cage :p

She's about 4.5 feet. Still small enough to find quite a few hiding spots.

It sucks when you have to. During the searching period you are wishing that you had Freedom Breeders, Neos, or AP cages. I'm just happy I found her so fast. At least she's happy right now with two hampsters in her belly. :D

Glad you found her. I had an ex-roommate whose bp got out. I found it about 4 mos. later in between the wash basin and drum in the washing machine. I had to tear my washing machine apart to get him out!
