So, my mom was coming home picking up some drinks for us and glancing about, wondering when to spray pesticides again. She saw something flinch out of the corner of her eye. She could tell it was a cornsnake immediately. It had to be a pet, because corns aren't found around here, and it was probably ours considering we were the only owners for at least 40 miles. Her first thought was,

"How did Xia get out?"

She heard some rattling and hissing and lunged for the snake with her hands. Either way, she was going to catch it. Upon bringing it in... it wasn't Xia! It was Worm, the now 10 month old normal cornsnake who had gone missing at three months! Of course, both of us freaked out and gave him a quick bath and set up a quarantine tank on the bottom floor (the others are on the top floor of the house) He has doubled in length, and looks just as healthy as Xia did at that age! He's curled up and slightly confused, but I am grinning from ear to ear!

I plan to feed him a hopper in two weeks... and take some shots at that time.
 
Oh- and when we were naming him, I was not fond of the worm name. I only agreed if it could become Wyrm when he was older. He has earned his Y!
 
Yeah, was wondering about the strange loss of anoles around here lol.
 
Wow, that's an awesome story!

My mom is terrified of snakes, but if she saw one of mine out, hopefully she'd at least put a bucket over it or something!
 
Congrats on his miraculous return!!! (I'm still keeping an eye out around the house in case the Miami corn my roommate lost almost 2 years ago shows up... LOL!)

A few days before he was lost, at less than a foot. Today, without flash so not to scare him

Wow, this reminds me of the time my dad found my hamster in the basement a year after he escaped.
It's great that you found Wyrm, and he looks great for having been living on his own! Hopefully he settles back into a pets life soon!
 
Best of luck to anyone who has given up and those of you still searching <3

That is really amazing! Thanks :)
 
Dang, he looks like he fared pretty well on his own. Glad you found him though, handsome little beast.
 
I'm wondering if he's going to be tough to get to eat mice again?? Let us know when you feed him next... if he goes for it quickly or if he hesitates. Just curious if he's become fixated on anoles.
 
It is great he is back!!
But since he has been on his own it might be a good idea to get him checked for any hitchikers he might have brought home! Anoles are loaded with parasites.
 
He was outside, hanging out in some bushes. :) And Wyrm has a vet appointment in store.
 
UPDATES!

So, Wyrm has eaten and passed his food and is in the blue. So far, he is really taming down and becoming calmer. The vet confirmed he has four types of parasites, all common and not terribly dangerous unless left untreated for a long amount of time. He has gotten his first treatment last week and is going to get his second one in a week. I am glad I have been carefully washing my hands before holding any snakes.
