I don't know much at all but was reading in a book once that you could look in your sofa cushions and around your TV and VCR. My friend had a ball python get lost once when she was a kid and said it stayed lost for a month! She finally found it in her mom's sock drawer. Good luck, I sure hope you find her!

Sorry to hear that u lost ur bp, but there is lots of hope. First start by looking in placed like the ones metioned above, plus any dark places in your home. Try to look 'between' different objects around the house (chairs or couchs/walls, items on shelves, closets that are frequently left open etc...) Before u go to bed leave out some prey easily accessable near the encosure and in the enclosure...u might see her in the morning digesting. Hope this helps

You can try placing plastic grocery bags along the edges of walls and if shes moving along and rubs up against them you'll hear her. You can also sprinkle a little bit of flour or corn starch in the doorways and if shes moved through them you'll be able to tell in an instant. Hope this helps, it did when i lost my calabar python.

when I was like 5 I lost my corn snake and it was lost for a long time but since it was winter and the house was cool sure enough it was in the garage... the warmest place in our house (then)

The problem is theres loose mice around my house but i will try f/t or maybe prekilled. I have done the flour thing and the plastic bags right now i have a f/t mouse under a heat lamp.

last time i lost a bp, what I did was I got some fresh stinky aspen from a rats cage, put it in a critter keeper with 2 hides, some water and a heat pad under one side, 4 days later at 4:30 am, I found her right nest to the cage, good luck, the key is check for them really late, or really early depends how you look at it.

look around the fridge, washing machine, dryer, any furnaces, heater ducts anything that produces heat, any exposed pipes.
