The excape artist is back !
My husband and I were sitting in the living room when our four year old daughter came out and said look who I found mommy big red. She found our baby corn that escaped about a month ago under her bed she has no fear of any of the snakes so she picked him up and brought him to us. Ger and I are so happy he is bach were he belongs and safe. Our daughter is excited because he choose her bed to hide under because he knew she would protect him. Kinda funny the night he went missing she came into the room and said don't worry mommy and daddy I will find him for you. Well she did.

Re: The excape artist is back !
Yes, it was a well needed moment in our house. I believe we were just coming to terms with him being gone, but sure enough there he was. We even figured out when and how he got out and I will fix it tomorrow (it was in the feeding tank, no danger of escape tonight). Just to be sure there will be no escapes tonight I decided to add weight to the top as well, just for the night. If that 10 inch long corn can move 40 lbs of textbooks, 20 lbs of cast iron and 2 cans of chicken broth (ask nanna) I think he deserves to be let free; because that is one tough snake.
Oh and he would have to scale two feet straight up the tank side then 8 inches across the top to get to the opening.

Re: The excape artist is back !
When we found him he was almost grey in color. We fed him two pinkies last night and he took them like a champ. Today he is red, active and curling up with his 8 brothers just fine. He is even shiny again.

Re: The excape artist is back !
I am so glad you found your baby because of your other baby! I would have been devastated to loose any of my pets especially such a young one. Good on your child for bringing it to you and I hope your snake will not escape again! Goodness scary time indeed!

I'm glad you found your little guy but really you keep NINE snakes all in one enclosure?! That's 8 too many in there.

They are baby corns. We'll move them out as they grow, but in my limited experience baby corns do better when they are grouped a few together. According to my breeder it is fine, he said that corns are strong clutch animals and work well together up to a point.

Re: The excape artist is back !
I know our two full grown corn snakes lived together quite nicely in one aquarium, though it was a really really big one mind you. Still would often find them all curled up together. Kinda cute if they weren't both guys.
