Am i just paranoid??

Not sure if i am the only one to do this but.....

got our young corns out tonight for a general check over and a cuddle. After putting them back in the viv i had the door open for a couple of minutes whilst i checked for poo and topped up the water - even tho i was sat next to the open viv i haven't seen teh snakes since i shut the doors and now have that niggly worry that they escaped while the viv was open!!

Do others do this or am i more paranoid than you guys......

The worst part is when you think you know where the snake is, then double check when you're done only to find out he wasn't there. *Then* you start to really panic.

I had my sunkissed corn Julius out yesterday, he had been sitting under my keyboard all day while I worked at my computer. I went to put him away, and he'd managed to slip away unnoticed. Tore the room apart looking for him for over an hour, eventually found him sleeping inside a box of ant traps sitting on my desk 6 inches from my keyboard.
