Corn escaped!

Not only was I worried about him not eating now he's escaped his enclosure..I fixed the problem, one latch didn't attach :/ ugh I feel stupid. He is a baby too. I've checked my room, the closet was right next to his cage so I though he'd go in there but I didn't see him :/ what to do..

Re: Corn escaped!

Just keep looking, all you can do. Don't stress out. He'll show up on his own accord. Just watch out for your cats and dogs if you have any. Also, look in warm places (behind fridges, radiators)

You can try placing a thawed mouse in a container, or a warm area in the room.

Re: Corn escaped!

This is the second time I've had a corn escape (we found Jäger though in the bathroom) I love Corns but they are such escape artists:/ I don't know if I'll find him cause he's still shy of us and he didn't want to eat at all

Re: Corn escaped!

Good luck. I once found an escaped corn in the basement next to my mice! It could turn up, but being that small makes it very tough.

Re: Corn escaped!

Give this a shot.

lost your snake !!!!! this is how to make a trap - CornSnakes.com Forums

Since hes a baby, you can get a bunch and put them around the house. Best of luck and don't rip your house apart, he will turn up on his own terms most likely.

Re: Corn escaped!

Look in dark, tight spaces. Snakes will work themselves in just about anywhere they want. The tightness and darkness help them feel secure. I knew a guy that lost his Columbian Boa Constrictor, and found it in between two bin lids that were stacked. It was not an adult, of course, but it got in there none the less. If there are any spaces that you suspect it might be hiding in, put a plate with sand on it in front of it. That way you can see whether the snake has gone in or out. Good luck, hope you find them okay. Do not give up. There are some people who have lost pets for months and they turned up okay.

Re: Corn escaped!

We found him last night after 4 days of being gone! He never left my room it seems, my dad went looking and he was sitting on top of my vent and almost went in! He gives me a heart attack lol he still hasn't eaten either! But I'm glad he's back

Re: Corn escaped!

What a relief! I wish all escape stories ended so well!

Re: Corn escaped!

I'm just real glad we got him before he got in the vents, and that we found him! He's so tiny, but he's back safely in his warm cage thanks guys!

Re: Corn escaped!

Thank Mark! And I'm glad I didn't find my little guy dead, even if I've only had him for a short time I'd be pretty sad
