"Make sure the cage is secure!" I always said to make sure the top screen is tight. My daughter said, "He won't leave his home." She was an older teen at the time, famous last words!
One night, he was missing. Every day and night, we kept a towel rolled under her door. We searched her room multiple times, looking up and down, and taking the room apart. Four months later, she came home late to find her thin snake gliding across the floor.
It had been winter, so he may have holed up somewhere cool in her room, but we were so happy to find her snake "Austin" again. I am so glad we were diligent about keeping that towel under her door for so long.
