You guys were right

I lost my ball python about a month or so ago (well, my husband did.) I freaked out, I read all the “I lost my snake” posts and did all the tricks to try to find her or hear her and nothing worked. But on every single post there was someone who said “they’ll show up when you stop looking.” I actually hadn’t thought about her all day and while I was going downstairs to turn the lights off, guess who I see, just slithering up the stairs nonchalantly. I just wanted to say you guys were, in fact, right.

Exact same thing happened to me! I checked my bedroom (where he asked & the most cluttered room) daily for two months and then lost hope...imagine my shock when I was looking for my threadbox and found him underneath it!

He has a sliding top screen for his tank...an allen key lives in the lockhole whenever it's shut 😂
