Haha Great to hear you got him back! I'm sure he had a fun basement adventure~
They never seen to get far, I sometimes think they like to stick close to the scene so they can watch and laugh at all the drama. That or they go out of their way to find the
one person in the house who's not completely comfortable with/terrified out of their wits of snakes and choose to pop up then.
"Surprise!"
My male pacific gopher's a stubborn feeder, so some time ago I tried leaving him alone in an insulated box with a f/t rat. I put what I thought was a heavy book on top of the styrofoam lid to weigh it down, but when I came back to check on him an hour or so later, it was popped off with him nowhere to be found! To add insult to injury the rat was still there of course. *facepalm*
Not much in the room so after I didn't find him there, I started to worry he had gotten out under the door and was roaming the house...containing my dog who I'm sure would floss her teeth with him if given the chance.
So the whole house was put in lockdown, my poor dog kicked outside wondering why she deserved such a fate, and I spent a good three hours searching the place top to bottom.
Then I went back to the room and did a double check of where I last put him. I accidentally bumped the box and that's when I heard this loud rattle... I found him wedged deep between the bottom of the foam insulation box and the outside cardboard box. I never would have thought to look there if he hadn't given himself away with that vibrating tail trick. (Running joke 'cause it
always backfires on him, he does it trying to look tough but we just laugh and call his little display "cute")
He was covered in foam bits and hissy as can be, but perfectly fine. He couldn't get into his enclosure fast enough, he tail-whipped me on the way in. Grumpy-butt.
So in the end I tore my house apart for no reason because he never really left the box in the first place. *facepalm*
Figures.

Tell her it was a misunderstanding, he was just trying to give you a little kiss I'm sure! ;p
Seriously though it's awesome that she's so good with snakes~
