This is so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, Maizey would not eat the CENSORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. She licked it a bunch, and nuzzled it, and later let it ride around on her back...I left her with it in her usual feeding container for about three hours.

Then, this morning, after I had nightmares about the CENSORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all night, I put her back in (probably stupid, but it was still alive and I didn't want to waste it) and she showed no interest. While I was making lunch for later, I peeked in on her, and she wasn't in the container!!!!!!!!!! Panic!!!!!!!!! She was in the laundry room, on top of the washer, so she could be in quiet almost dark lighting. I call BF, and we clear everything out, then I look down behind the dryer with a flashlight, and there she is, about four inches of her sticking out from the disconnected dryer exhaust hose, which goes down under the house and out!! We make a plan- (this is a tiny laundry room) BF will quickly pull the dryer out and I will swoop in as soon as I can squeeze between the dryer and the washer and grab her before she can turn and disappear forever under the house.

The plan goes off perfectly- except instead of trying to escape, Maizey doesn't move- like, "what are you doing grabbing me up so quickly like that???" Major heart attack. Disaster averted. I can't believe the lid wasn't latched securely. I can't believe we located her within five minutes of discovering her missing.

The CENSORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, BTW, went on a motorcycle ride down to the neighbor's cornsnake.

I felt her belly, too- no eggs in there.

PS- Are you happy now? Because I am not- I think sending people PMs to tell them what you do and do not want to hear about REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you find my subject matter offensive- put me on your ignore list. That way your sensibilities will no longer be offended.
