Because when I say my Daughter (who is 8 YO and totally meant well, but got into trouble none the less) thought he needed some outside time, I mean "outside" the house and not in his enclosure time. I normally have locks for my tanks so people and children can't get into my snakes tanks. But I had to order a lock for this ones cage and it had not come yet. So outside he got to go and no body knew about it until it was too late. I'm hoping that he might show back up, but being that he is outside in the "wilds" of suburbia it's a fat chance of it happening, but one can hope right? But if I get him back then he will be in my Signature, and when they are both old enough I'm wanting to breed them. I found out my snow is a female, WOOHOO.
