Last year, our pet python which is over 1 metre long, did a runner. We were petrified he would venture to next door neighbour's garden. He keeps scores of birds, and birds = mice. He is also a horrible man who would certainly kill anything. Anyway, six months pass by with no news of "Slithers"
Then, one bright morning, I was in the downstairs dunny reading the astro mag, and suddenly a movement caught my eye. Something was sliding under the door
I tell you, I was up and dressed in no time flat.
It was Slithers sure enough and we managed to catch him, transfer him to a high security location (His old cage with 2 house bricks on the lid to make sure he wouldn't lift it again.) Down to the pet shop for a nice juicy frozen rat, and Slithers was fine
So don't give up - your beast may return!!
