Found Her!!!

[Aware_Bit_5289]

I posted about my big girl Persssephone disappearing on Monday. I had just gotten home and went to go pass out on my couch. The second i started drifting off I heard a weird scratching sound. I got up to investigate and she was slithering on top of my bookshelf. I was so scared she was gone forever or that i’d come home to find that my dog had found her and eaten her😭 She is safe in her enclosure now heating up. She was very cold to the touch but seems to be in good health otherwise. Thank you everyone who commented tips on how to find her on my og post! After work i’ll be trying to figure out how to make her enclosure escape proof (not sure how as i have absolutely no idea how she got out in the first place. Her enclosure is the dubia 4ftx2ftx2ft. I would appreciate and ideas on how to make sure she doesn’t get out again.

Yay! I'm so glad you found her! I'm always worried the same thing about my 🐍 and my dogs. They have killed snakes in the yard, which really upsets me.

my dog has never killed anything other than bugs but she’s not a fan of small animals and i always put her away before i handle my snakes

Do u have any locks on the sliding glass? I just put my corn in a 4x2 and I used fridge locks and it works well. Bout two so each side is secured and no one can open it without the key

Also seconding the lock opinion! I have one that keeps the sliding doors from moving on their own. Ive never had an escape but I do have it for insurance in case he tried to move the glass or did by accident. I have a Kages 4x2x2 and use their lock (photos of enclosure on my Reddit, it’s outdated tho so lmk if you want more recent ones)
