I have waited for months to post this guy. I had traded a fellow ssnakess member for him in Nov.'03 (I think) and he escaped literally THAT DAY from a rubbermaid with 20lbs on it. More than a little embarrassed, I told only a few people. My backyard looks like a herper's dream with all the tin and cardboard all over! Looks like he has been feeding well in his absence. He was found in my snake rack at eye level and quite mad! He nearly got my son Russ (who found him) in the face.
Never give up!

Yo-- Ace! Breeding is actually kinda slow and even paced this year. I guess once you decide the animals have the last say anyway, you don't stress as much. haha. All should be in the swing of things soon, thanks.

Glad you found him. He's a beauty- would have been a shame to never see him again. Looks like he's none the worse for his experience to boot. I had a wild caught 6 ft black snake excape years ago in a 8-10 room and never saw him again. He pushed 2 stacks of bricks and cinderblocks off the top of a wooden cage and vamoosed. That's the only snake I lost that I never found. You're absolutely right to never give up!
