Ahhhhh... Dumbest thing you've done

[vazzza]

Ok, today i have just done one of the dumbest things i've done in snake keeping.

I took the lid off my hatchling royals RUB to let out some humidity, then went to work leaving the lid off I just ran home to find him sleeping in his cool hide, right where i left him. PHEW! Normally he's out like a shot at the first sign of taking the RUB's lid off, can't believe my luck!

Have any of you done anything as stupid??

we've all done something stupid at least once, LOL, how did work take the reason for you being late

Fell asleep once whilst handling one of my royals. She went on a little adventure for 3 days! Found her poking her head out of one of the saucepans in the kitchen cupboard.

I was at work, just said to my boss that i'd be back in 10 minutes if the snake is in the RUB, and if he's gone for a wonder then i'll be back when I've found him. He said that was fine, but i don't think he realised that i could have been gone for months

have to say dumbest thing would be when I went running all the way back to the bus stop, went all the way home, crapping it that ruby would've got out cos i left the viv open, just to find when i got back that I was mistaken and it was locked after all!

Dumbest thing i've done would be handle my Male royal (aka cookie monster) after preparing his dinner, 5 minutes of him chewing and twisting my skin we finally got him off

and i call him cookie monster cause like the cookie monster with cookies once isis smells rat you've had it

Fed my biggest royal ( Fatty ) in the lounge one night, on the cow hide rug next to the coffee table. She struck at the rat.....missed it and gripped onto the rug !
With the feel of hair inside her mouth she desided to follow the usual protocol and starter constricting the 8 ft x 6 ft dead cow !!

I left the lid off my BRB tank all night once, wife NOT happy when she found it in the morning. Saying that, he hadn't moved so no worries.
