Nile monitor escape

[surnamemarc]

looked everywhere for this guy... hes probaly about 20" long.. ive ripped apart the couch, searched closets, cloths, fridge, under cupboard, behind computer cabinets.. i know he cant get out of my apartment.. its impossible..

any idea on how to get thease guys out of hiding? do you think a heat lamp over a bowl of water would work? suggestions please :)

wow, get an live rat trap(there used to catch squirrels and racoons and stuff), then just put a dead mouse as bait. goodluck

oh yeah, if hes only 20" then theres a possability he could have gone into the walls or vents.

I had a 20" Nile monitor get into baseboard. You know, the quarter round lining your rooms.. Mine got into a gap about half an inch and squeezed his way inbetween the wall and the 1/4 round. It was a real pain getting him out involving removing the round plus a small portion of the wall :(

put a bowl of water and some food out for it, and you 'might' see it come in to get some food - its hiding good, but it is not too far.... expect the unexpected as to where it will go -> check out dark, tight fitting places.
Good Luck!
