So I lost my 5ft Python and found her at GC..

[justincase93]

I've had a ball python for the last 5 years. Her name is Cornflake. She got out of her cage about 2 weeks ago and I could not find her ANYWHERE in my apartment. I had given up hope finding her and figured she'd pop up in one of my neighbors toilets

Fast forward to last night. I went to Guitar Center to trade in a Markbass traveler 15 cab for a UA apollo twin. We did the trade in and I was about to check out when something caught my eye in the port on the back...


Cornflake was INSIDE the cabinet! She had made her way into the cab and would not budge. We took the speaker out and after a 30 minute struggle, removed her. All of this happened in the middle of GC.

My roommate, who is a manager at GC, got a few pics on her potato quality phone.

It's justincase93's python's flying circus!

Which leads to the inevitable question:

What's the best python for metal?


I'm sorry, I just had to ask. I mean, somebody had to, right?

Best thing I've read all day!!!!

Did you get any help from the Guitar Center employees?

I hear they work for scale there.

Did you play the cab with cornflake inside? Would that make her come out of the cab or do they like that vibration?

I think every TB thread has been duplicated (sometimes over and over again) over the years... until now.

I saw a video one time of a guy cleaning the pots on an amp head. When he opened up the head there was an abandoned rat nest in the corner. Maybe Cornflake was looking for food and wound up in your cab?

How the hell did you sleep knowing that thing could have been lurking around in your apartment?

well that's another reason I got rid of it. I've brought the cab out of the house once in the year I've had it. I only use my markbass 2x10 combo now! Funny thing is, I checked in the combo to see if she was in there.

Well it wasn't the first time she's gotten out! I was actually hoping she would crawl in bed with me so I could find her!

I had an old Yamaha head stored in a barn. The band at the time was rehearsing in a downtown warehouse, so I decided to take the amp there to use. As I was carrying it in, a bunch of mice came out of the amp, ran down my back and scurried off. They woke up as country mice, but ended the day as city mice. It was darned decent of them to wait to come out instead of in the car.

Many years ago my college roommate and I had an 8-foot python, named Connie Lingus, who lived in our dorm room with us. Connie got out one day. We couldn't find her for about three days until she came up out of one of the shower drains in the communal shower room down the hall. The guy who was in the shower at the time was a bit upset.

I'm sick of these same posts..OP, use the search function for "My lost python was stuck in my Mark Bass cab and I had to fish him out at Guitar Center" and you'll find a million like this....

I was sure that you will post some picture like this

I guess it's a good thing you found out before you left GC & didn't leave the snake for another customer to find

That is....well....that is something

OK, there has to help some sort.of TB Hall of Fame, right?

OP, I simply cannot NOT believe that in this technological age we live in those are the best pics you could scrounge up for THAT story.

Glad you found her.
Must have been quite a scene in GC.
