One of my roomates in college had a 6ft snake as a pet. Well, one day one of my brilliant roomates broke the snake glass tank and they thought an even more BRILLIANT fix was to put the 6ft snake in a tub container with a thin chalkboard as the cover to "keep it inside." Needless to say the snake escaped at night and was never found again for 5 months. I would like to add that when the cage broke and they put it in the plastic tub, I was in south Florida visiting my family. When I came home I heard a loud hiss...saw the broken glass cage AND FREAKED OUT. That is how I FOUND OUT the snake was loose! Needless to say, I grabbed my things and I basically lived with my boyfriend until the snake was found because I could simply not BARE the thought of walking around to even go use the bathroom in the middle of the night and come across the snake!
For those of you who are still reading my long drawn out post, the snake was found eventually by a maintenance worker who was remodeling the kitchen of the house. He was trying to grab the plugs behind the dishwasher....grabbed the snake instead!
POOR MAN! Thankfully nothing happened to him...but what if it did?!
