We Found Sunny!

My son, Christopher, has a pet corn snake, "Sunny". During a moment of inattention, Sunny escaped from her cage, although we were pretty certain she was still in the house. She was missing for over a week, so she should have been getting hungry - we feed her about once a week. I was doing a load of laundry and spotted Sunny peaking out of the washing machine! I presume she hadn't been in the washing machine all week, since we had been using it regularly for several days.



She was careful not to expose herself too much as you can see in the shot above.

We waited a very long time, it seemed like a couple of hours, and decided to get her favorite food, a mouse, to persuade her to come out of hinding. As you can see below, she liked that idea!



I won't show the final resolution, in case you're squeamish about a snake devouring a mouse, but suffice it to say, Sunny is now back in her cage.

That's funny. Our old dog;s name is Sunny, too. (Spelled the same way). Glad you found her. That looked like a big mouse.

It's funny also because when my son named the snake, we thought it was a male, but a couple of years ago, we discovered eggs in her cage. We're glad "Sunny" is a non-generic name. :)
