Let's play "Find the aztec!"

My escaped corn snake has returned! :cheers:

Habibi, an aztec/normal corn snake who is now around a year old & barely 100 g, didn't necessarily return to me, but when I bent over to pick up the feeding containers (tonight was dinner night), my eye just happened to catch something. I have a box of shoes that I keep meaning to donate along with a bunch of school bags full of books & stuff right next to one of the reptile racks and lo & behold, guess who was nestled as comfortable as a bug in a rug in one of the shoes??? Can you find him?

Imagine that...little sucker even seemed grateful to be found; he didn't try to scurry away, and my thought is that he was too dehydrated to even try. (He only lost about 10 g when I weighed him -- and his last weight was taken at the beginning of Oct.)

So, here he is getting a little post-escape love from me:

I'm relieved that he's "returned," mostly for his safety, as I know that one of my cats would've played with him to death, I'm sure. In fact, I'd been wondering lately what was going on because one cat seemed to be awfully interested in a certain section of the room, but I'd continually see nothing...either way, Habibi (Arabic for "my darling" -- all of my pets have names in different languages) is now back, safe & sound. :)

Thanks for looking! :wavey:
 
Glad you found your escapee! Hahaha that picture with you giving him some love is so cute! You give him chin rubs as if he were a little kitty..so cute! :p
 
Congratulations on finding him. I am much too familiar with the relief of finding escaped snakes. Very happy for you--and him!
 
Thank you, everyone! I'm quite thrilled, myself...and the tickling photo just kinda happened, no plan to it, at all. :) He just kinda looked at me & gave me that look, and well...I was just too relieved to see the lil'bugger. :)

Oh thats great news! How long was he lost for?

Thanks! I noticed him gone on 10/26, but I'm sure that he took off a few days before then -- some time between the 21st & 26th. So, he was gone for about 3+ weeks.
 
Congrats on the recapture. Oddly enough my normal went missing yesterday. I'm scared to death my cat's are, in your words, "play with him to death." I was feeding yesterday and I put him in his feeding box with the dinner and I apparently didn't latch it well enough. I'm so worried. :(
 
Great news! Good thing you did not donate that box, I can only imagine the face on the employee at Goodwill or Salvation Army (or the customer!) that might have found him if you had. :eek:

Whoa, Jenstar! I just looked at your avatar -- your snake looks just like my Caramelo! Wow! Do you call him just a "normal" or...?

And thanks -- you're right, maybe I'll have to hang on to those shoes after all...:)

No joke...I wasn't holding my breath on finding the lil'guy because as you can tell from that one photo: there are a million places to hide in this room! However, I had a feeling that he was still in the room, but -- just a matter of time...fortunately, time & luck were on both of our sides! :) Thank you!
