No matter how careful...

No matter how careful you are, from time to time you will through absent mindedness at 6am or preoccupation or whatever forget to close a tub properly and a hatchling will go for a wander...in my case...I've just spent the last 30 mins looking for my 3 week old butter 0.1. Her amel 0.1 clutchmate and she went wandering today as I didn't fully snap down BOTH sides of the tub....who would have thought they'd even be strong enough. I found the amel within 20 seconds by just looking in the most obvious places around the snakes corner but the butter, after a more thorough search is still AWOL. The amel 0.1 is part of a 1.1 pair I'm selling when I get them both eating predictably so I'm really glad I found her (for financial reasons as well)...but the butter is going to be part of my grand plans....I'll be really cheesed off if I don't find her. She still hasn't eaten so she probably has another 2-3 months in her without food before it's too late for her but I hope it doesn't take too long. I've looked everywhere I can think of but I'll look again in an hour or so. This time I'm staying calm. Last time I misplaced a snake I was almost in tears but I can't have watery eyes for this job,...I have to keep my head on straight... It still sucks though :cry:
 
I hope you find her soon. It's always the "grand plan" ones that cause any bother (for want of a better word). She will be in the last place you look though. (At least I hope)
 
Good luck princess <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZRxdm103YYUS' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12_3_45.gif' alt='Clover' border=0></a>
 
Thanks you two...Of course she'll be in the last place I look...I'd be an idiot to keep looking after I find her! :rolleyes:

I'm just taking it easy and looking for her and I'm sure she'll turn up sooner or later..the pissy thing is that I really need to vacuum and I can't while she's missing. My boyfriend suggested I just vacuum thoroughly and then rip open the bag :sidestep: That would be like being sucked into a tornado for a little 6g hatchling. :twoguns:
 
Hmmmmm ... the hooverfinder, you could be onto something there.got a patent on that yet? :sidestep: :wavey:
 
Ohhhhh, thats a bummer. I hope you find her sooner rather than later. Good luck!
 
They are the sneakiest little things. I hope she turns up soon. I'll send some good thoughts your way.
 
I just had one go MIA. A possibly gravid female (whom just shed a few days ago).

I have NO IDEA how she got out! She's in the same rack she's been in since December...and it wasn't open. I go in after work to refresh water and look for eggs...and she's not in there!

I could'a screamed my head off...
 
I hope you find her! This week my son was replacing the water for his Ghost corn... aptly named "Dora the Explora" because unless she is in shed or just ate, she is roaming 24/7. If you don't pin her cage, she is out in minutes. Well guess what he forgot to do? Thankfully we found her, but it was after a 2 hour search of a very messy room. The funny thing was, she was in something all three of us checked and had put into the hallway. Awhile later I walked by it and she was crawling out! Probably because she was real close to the "mouse" room, so she probably came out for a snack.
 
SHE'S BACK!!!!


:crazy02: Thankyou everyone for sending good karma my way! My boyfriend got home today and we've been doing a whole lot of heavy lifting and furniture moving (just bought a huge new bed) and after my fruitless days of searching under, in, behind and around EVERYTHING in the appartment, I guess all the noise and commotion made her come out of her hiding place! So Thomas had just had a shower and was stepping out of it when who was there sitting on the bathroom floor looking up at him...Little butter girlie! She is yet to be named so she's just ID#2-002 for now but I'm sure it'll be something to do with luck...

Any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of 'Charm' or 'Treasure' or 'Precious'.


Any more ideas?
 
Yowie, that's her name, the creature you just know is there but don't see.

But that's fine, don,t reply to MY post. :cry:
 
Whooo-hooo! :)

Glad she finally turned up.

I had a hatchling that was halfway down the overflow outlet in the bath when I noticed where he'd gone and managed to slowly work him back out the way.

He got called "Lucky" for the remainder of the time we had him. Obvious, but fitting. :rolleyes:

If he'd managed to get all the way into the overflow pipe that would have been the last we'd have seen of that one.
 
Congrats

I am so glad you got her back safe and sound, now on the name thing I don't know, only got around to naming our lot after a year or so. But the hurricane that went missing for almost 3 months ended up with the name Fortuna. The even luckier one (the butter female) had to make do with Venus:)

Best of luck on your grand project with her - seems I got a project sooner than expected:)
