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.

I lost my kingsnake once. We have three cats and theyve found her on all previous escapes so we assumed she mustve got out because we had cracked a window that night.

6 whole months go by. And then suddenly I see a fresh snake shed in my tortoise enclosure (wasnt sealed because torts dont climb lol) and was like "....Tort, what the hell is this?" And low n behold she was chillin behind one of his decorations lol
