One photo every day: I wonder where our snake is hiding right now. (147/365)

Hi!

Being nocturnal animals, I would've guessed it'd be out and about. It seems Kiemis likes hiding.

Out of sight.

Fascinating creatures those snakes.

Wow! How big is your Kiemis? How old is he? Will he grow to be three or four feet long one day? Then, you would need a much bigger cage for him!

I used to have a Singaporian friend who had a very big snake as a pet. One day he broke out of his cage. So, we had to look inside every room in the house for him, because he also had a cat with three kittens! Luckily, the snake was hiding under the cupboard, all the cats were not eaten!

Cheers.

Kiemis is now 1 year and 2 months old. I guess it is already 3 feet, not sure about the metric to imperial conversion. I'd guess it's about 90 centimeters long, give or take a few. Anyway, if it's a female it can grow upto 150 centimeters whereas the males will grow only to about 1 meter long.

We will likely end up having to invest in a bigger terrarium yes.

My sister-in-law has "a zoo", where she has a number of cats, snakes (cornsnakes and an angry one), lizards and other crawly creatures. Roughly a year ago, one of her cornsnakes escaped from its habitat, and in the end the cats had eaten it.

Thank you very much for your kind reply @gamer00. I am very surprised to hear that the cats ate the snake!! This would never happen in Thailand! And you sister has a zoo!! ZOO!
Wow! your snake will grow up to almost 150cms! Thai people are very afraid of snakes and whenever they see snakes, they will kill the snakes.
So, it has been quite strange for my gardener to learn from me that snakes are not really aggressive and we should let them go on their paths. Last week, she found another baby green snake!

Cheers.
