Just an experience I would like to share with you guys.
I stay in Cape Town, recently went and visited my mom in the Eastern Cape for a couple of days. Was nice but got back and two of my Cal kings managed to escape from their enclosures. I Still have no idea how they both managed this as I've checked every little thing in the enclosure and I still believe it's impossible. Which is also weird, I've had both now for about a year now and they have never managed to get out.
Anyway, my wife is still getting accustomed to having snakes in the house, she atleast goes near my enclosure set up and looks at them. But she is still a bit frightened of them but I think it's starting to settle with her rather nicely. The other day she found a Gaboon Viper to be one of the nicest colored snakes available. I was rather shocked to hear here say this.
So I searched this place high and low wanting to find my dear snakes, with no luck, late that evening I decided to call it a day. Just then while sitting i my lounge I heard a screech come from our bedroom, ran through the door and what did I find? Her holding the one king snake, frozen stiff
The room light was off but the TV was on and she saw what she thought was a pen on the floor which she picked up. Without realizing it, as she stood up she then found out it was a snake. It was rather funny, as this is the first time she has actually held a snake. She reckons she won't do it again, but I still have another cal king loose in my house somewhere. I'm hoping she finds it for me.Rather odd though, I searched this place everywhere for the snake, I still cannot fathom the thought of not being able to find it yet it was out in the open when the one was eventually found.
I'm a little concerned about the other one through, it's nearly two weeks and not even a sign it's in the house. Well it's winter, our house gets rather cold so I presume it's found a spot and busy hibernating now.
Just thought I'd share.
. It's no where in my room, I think it went out my bathroom window and into the complex. The body corporate wanted to hold a meeting with me and discuss what I keep. Hopefully he will turn up just like your cali did.
luckily after 4 months my wife called me at work in a panic, apparently the maid found her lying smack bang in the middle of the bar floor, i could only get home much later so my dear wife have to try and round her up, which turn into quite an ordeal for my wife, as my snake wanted to "attack" them every time they try to come close, eventually they got her in a box and when i got home i simply took her out by hand and asked, is this the snake that tried to kill all of you's, but she's so calm she would not hurt a fly? Needless to say the maid was happy that the rogue snake was no longer loose in the house.
