I had a boa escape once. She got out in the middle of the night when i was in bed. I woke up and was like ahhhhh F!@#. So the searching commenced. I tore my whole house apart looking for her, i even tore the oven and dishwasher apart so bad that they were in pieces. I figured that she shouldnt be too hard to find, she was about 5 feet at the time. But it took me probably a good 10 hours to find her, and guess where she was. In one of my dresser drawers, all coiled up.

So don't always be looking somewhere where it would be warm, where i found her it was in my room where it stays really cool. Also try checking places that are always really dark.

Thats about all i can offer you as it only took me about a half a day to find her.

Good luck.

the exact same thing happened to me, i tore the whole place apart only to find she was in the drawer near his cage, man i felt like such an idiot. i had two friends helping me take the WHOLE place apart for like 3 hours before we foun him in there. I must have closed the drawer sometime immediately after finder out he was missing, because thats why i didn't look in there. because there was no way into a closed drawer....sooo stoopid

Goodluck finding the boa, hope it goes well.

Many drawers can still be accessible even if the drawer is shut. There is typically a gap along the back wall inside the dresser or whatever that a snake could easily climb up through.

My only advice is keep all your doors shut so you can at least contain it to whatever room it is in. then i guess i'd tear each room apart one by one. Good luck, and let us know where you find it.

take flour, and put a thin line along the walls of your house and all the door ways. boas like to follow walls when they escape...and if the edges of the walls have flour on them...then the boas will make a nice little trail

[maccaw1]

Looked in all the drawers, No luck, I'll try the flower tonight. I'm starting to loose hope.............

Naw Tim....I think im pretty right on this one...in good time Tim, just wait!

[ATBlover]

dont give up man...she'll turn up for you...just keep looking..they can't be that good at hiding...

[maccaw1]

So far she's hiding like a convict. But I continue to look every day.... No luck yet. I even took a shourt rubermaid tub and put a mouse in it with a hole in the center of the lid so that the mouse can't get out but rosy could get i if she gets hungry, no luck yet the mouse is still there.

I just had an idea!! Borrow a male boa and follow him.....

[maccaw1]

Well, We've lost hope, so I've ordered an Argentine BCI wont really replace her but my family is really feeling a loss. Thanks for all your ideas guys, who know maybe she'll still show up.....

[Reticsrule]

sorry to hear you still havent found her... best of luck with the ongoing search though.

i found my boa when i was still living at home after he had bitten my brother who was reaching for a strange looking sock on the floor. i heard the yell.

[JdmAllMotorHatc]

thats what i like about the room my herps are in, nothing can escape and everywhere they could hide is easy to get to
