"My ball python used to escape and hide for about 6 months at a time. We’d find him in all kinds of strange places. He hasn’t returned from his latest safari. Haven’t seen him in four years. I don’t think he’s coming back."

I had a ball python that went missing for about two years. When I was packing up to move, I discovered that he'd found his way under the waterbed mattress, next to the heating pad, but never found his way out. He was essentially mummified.

But at least he died warm and happy.
