Thread: You will be missed

When my bull-snake got loose, the only place I didn't search was where she actually was holed up...and that's because it would have meant ripping out the cupboards to see or reach her. I was worried sick
about her & kept hoping she'd come out much sooner than she did. (but at least she was fine, just hibernated) They don't always go as far as we think...they feel exposed & nervous out in the open. Good luck!

While I'm def sorry you snake got loose, I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while. I read your passage aloud to my girlfriend and she laughed as well. There has to be a potion of some sort to help your find your snake. Maybe he is hiding under the invisibility cloak? Good luck!

Or maybe just hunting for scabbers. Lol. Poor Ron.

I would continue to try luring him out by thawing a feeder in the house. I had a BRB get out a few days ago, and I caught her last night heading into the laundry room where I was thawing rabbits for the adult retics. Now, I have no idea what she would have done with a rabbit that weighs many times what she does, but she was obviously on a mission to figure it out when I snagged her.

Just be warned that picking up a foody/hungry boa is... interesting!

My camera came today so I'm going to poke around a bit tonight and see if I can find him anywhere. It's going to be another cold weekend so I hope his invisibility cloak has heating!

Good luck! Crossing my fingers!

Hope he turns up for you. GREAT writing skills, I enjoyed reading that even if the subject was sad.

Fingers crossed for you zaphod that you find your little motley and that little ode at the start did make me smile

I like to use writing and humor to deal with crappy situations. My little slytherin dude is still MIA, the camera that I got wasn't actually all that helpful. If he ever turns up I'll defiantly let you guys know. I am pretty sure that the hole in the ground doesn't actually go anywhere and isn't even big enough for him to curl up in so he's got to be in the walls or ceiling. Or Hagrid came and got him. Definitely one of those two.

I had one get out a dew years ago...a couple months old..tried everything...gave up on her and then found her on a shelf two months after her escape date...just as mean as ever...and quite hungry.

News Alert!!!

There has been a possible sighting of a missing snake that reportedly left home in the middle of the night to join Slytherin. A 48 year old man reported that while drilling a hole in the wall he bent down to vacuum up some of the debris. Upon standing back up he was found that he was looking face to face with a "large" snake who had poked his head out of the wall. After screaming in a very manly and not all at 5 year old child way, his significant other came running down the stairs and saw a flash of something before it was gone. Despite the extensive use of flashlights and cameras neither party involved was able to confirm if this was indeed the missing snake, a native snake, a ghost snake, or a rat in a snake costume.

More holes have been drilled into the walls and cameras have been setup to continue SnakeWatch 2017. The current project of routing water pipes and electrical wire through the basement walls will continue as planned with the snake wrangler of the house always being present to supervise and not at all protect the 6ft well muscled 48 year old man from the mean 'ole little snakey.

Great news (as I roll on the floor with laughter)! Sure HOPE it's not a rat in a snake-costume! Ha ha ha... Love the idea of a "ghost snake" though....hmm?

Perhaps that very brave man should keep a thawed rat in his pocket at all times when working on this project, for possibly tempting that creature out of the wall? (fingers crossed!)

Awesome news, though if he was scared (though not at all scared, as noted!) of snakes before, possibly having one come after him hungry might not help matters.. Hope the elusive Slytherin student returns.

Nope, no sightings since the news alert a few weeks ago. Although now that witness is questioning what he saw and thinking it might just have been a rat. Apparently he decided spend spring break at Hogwarts. Can't say I blame him, their food options look pretty good.

Sure hope it wasn't a rat...on the other hand, maybe Grimes is now gainfully employed? Just hoping he's ok & shows up soon so you know.

Grimes decided Hogwarts wasn't for him and has returned home! His homecoming was noticed by a tub that was pushed slightly out of it's rack. Fortunately there was a pin holding the tub in place which prevented it from coming completely ajar and thus allowing Angel to runoff to Hogwarts. Apparently they're not feeding them much these days at Hogwarts but aside from being a little skinny Grimes looks pretty good!

Yay! He's home again. They've had a lot of rebuilding to do after the battle so I'm not surprised that food might be a bit scarce...
