Default another bizarre "miracle find" in the basement..

Tonight I was down in the basement feeding cables up through the floor, I slid this step stool over to where I was at, and it had a box top laying on it, so I moved the box top, and holy smokes if my Pueblan milk snake (the 4 foot adult) was all curled up under there relaxing.

These snakes don't eat like garters do, so I didn't even know he was gone he was in his cage last week when he ate.

Stinker lives under his hides and burrows in the substrate all the time, so I never even noticed.

The cover has a LOT of weight on it, and it looked undisturbed, yet there was my snake, in the basement sitting on a step stool.

Had I not been feeding cable, it would have turned out a lot different.

Next step, a cage with a lock on the cover.! this is the fourth time this snake has busted out, he is incredibly strong, he squeezed under a very heavy sheet of 3/4 wood to escape the first time.

it's nice when they turn up before they're missing - saves one all that stress and searching
