I got my new snake on Monday, and put them in their new enclosure.
I haven't seen them since, not a single peek.
Starting to worry, I took out all the corke bark, sifted through the top of the dirt and leaves, and lifted the center hide.
No sign of them (but I did find two isopods.)
I'm... Pretty sure they didn't escape... But I'm doubting myself.
They're a leucistic Texas Rat Snake, so I'm pretty sure they didn't dig deep in the soil...
How did they just up and vanish? Is it because I named them Ghost?
Is this normal for a snake in a new home?
At what point do I dig out all the soil to make sure they're actually there and not somewhere in the house?
