Early Halloween Scare

As many of you know Keegan is my first snake. I must admit I haven't been this anxious since my son was a baby. I find myself glancing over at him like every five minutes. Each time I pass by his viv I pause and look at him.

He was out cruising when I looked over. I took a break from checking on him(glancing over at him) to watch a movie with my hubby. The movie is over and I check on him and I don't see him. I tip toe over and look in, still nothing. I grab my LED flashlight and look in the viv, still can't find Keegan.

I realize he's small but really there are only so many places he can hide, or so I thought. I take the books of the lid and set them down. I gently lift the lid. I sort of lean my head over into the viv and Wham. Little bugger hits my nose. I jump and said a bad word on accident. By now my hubby and son are rolling around the couch laughing uncontrollably.

With my heart racing and hands shaking, I gently lower the lid and put the books back. Thankfully he doesn't even seem phased by the encounter as he is at this moment crawling along the lid again. I do have a feeling though that my family won't let me soon forget tonight lol.

Haha! He was just waiting to scare you. XD

Tee hee great story they are amazing little escapologists, though, so you are right to keep a good eye out!!

And may you never disturb his slumber again

that is funny

My opal does the same thing! I freaked out when i couldn't find him and BAM! there he is all neatly shoved up near the lid.
