Re: Good monitors

Something I did forget to mention, Monitors are great at finding mischief to get into, so you may just be watching TV and hear a sudden crashing noise in the next room.

Be observant, like a CSI detective.

I found a missing snake one day by noticing a small figurine on the floor, it was up on a shelf, so I look on the shelf where it was supposed to be, and several others were tipped over. Presto! there was my snake, all coiled up on the shelf looking down on us as we tore the house apart looking for him.

Right now more than ever, a keen eye for the smallest details is important. Just a swish of a curtain could mean it's behind the sofa, anything out of place is evidence.

Re: Good monitors

Agreee...I agree with them all! Keep a vigilant eye.
In the meantime...maybe you can work on a special lock or something for the enclsure, since the rest of the people in the house like to leave doors open and stuff.

I hope you find'em!

My animals are my life. I would be panic-attack freaking out...but i do think it's a little soon to give up and get something else. Keep looking and chin up!
