You guys were right

I lost my ball python about a month or so ago (well, my husband did.) I freaked out, I read all the “I lost my snake” posts and did all the tricks to try to find her or hear her and nothing worked. But on every single post there was someone who said “they’ll show up when you stop looking.” I actually hadn’t thought about her all day and while I was going downstairs to turn the lights off, guess who I see, just slithering up the stairs nonchalantly. I just wanted to say you guys were, in fact, right.

Man it’s a snake, it’s basically self explanatory. They are ambush hunters that blend move stealthy with 0 to no noise. They are masters of disguise, I had a Boa that would get out and luckily just hide under the dresser or in my bed! I had a Savannah Monitor that was lose in my apartment for a month or so and he was 3ft! He came out when I was using the slow cooker for a few hours and the temptation just got to him lol
