Happy ending for plains garter escape, sort of....

[eyespy]

Way back in August my cat knocked the weights, light and screen top off of my plains garter cage and both of them escaped even though I heard it happen and was there in just a few seconds. Fast little devils! I tore the place apart often but never found anything but poop in odd places for a few days.

On Thursday night I came home and found my same evil cat playing with the male, and surprisingly he only had a couple of minor bite wounds to his tail. He's a bit on the thin side but not too much, so he must have been eating bugs during his 2 month adventure. He should heal up and fatten up nicely.

Now I have new hope that the female is alive and doing reasonably well and will surface one of these days.
