I’m treading very treacherous ground....trying to get your mind off your dilemma for just a nano second and trying not to offend and be flippant.
I truly, truly feel so badly for you [and Alice] and am fervently praying that this will all be a distant memory soon and provide the makings of a chapter in your book about your life in *Pinscher Holler*.
I want so, to come and help you. Who do we know with some Thermal Imaging Heat Seeking equipment that could be borrowed? Military or the cops?
It works...you do make me laugh, in spite of myself.
You’re kind of an emotional flotation device, right now...:)
[and we call this place “Soggy Bottom” but Pinscher Holler is funnier] LOL
I considered the thermal imaging too...until I remembered that reptiles assume the exact same temperature as their environment.
Whether their surroundings are 50 degrees or 100 degrees, so are they.
They wouldn’t show up.
That’s why I have elaborate thermostats and heating on everybody’s home...to keep them at optimum temps.
[I’ve already tried IR and UV cameras...no joy]
Even dowsing rods.
Yeah.
I’m that desperate.
