Its Gone

I just f**king got a snake and now its gone. I can't find it anywere. I guess the cage that we got wasn't so secure! Sorry guys for the rant but I am really pissed and do you guys have any ideas for finding it. We can't find out how it got out! Everything looks secure.

Re: Its Gone

I say do a search of the forums. You'll find lotsa tips, including flour on the floor to see tracks or even making a trap to catch him.

Check them out and *good luck!*

Re: Its Gone

thats rough! what kind of cage did you use? did you go with the sterilite/rubbermaid?
I know how exited you were to get this snake. very sorry to hear this. Check under EVERYTHING that emitts heat. (fridge, dishwasher, stove, under the T.V, entertainment centers, anywhere) also look around on here, I saw some very good D.I.Y. traps that seem like they would work perfectly. GOOD LUCK!!

Re: Its Gone

Also, I know this seems kinda dumb to ask but, have you searched through the substrate?? Im sure you probably have but I have had a time or two where I was convinced my snake had escaped but he just burried himself deep in the substrate.
again I am sure you probably already did this, just trying to think of other possibillities.

Re: Its Gone

Thanks every body but I actually found him! He was in are vacuum. We thought was in there so we duck taped the one side and put the other side in the tank. He came right out after he thought we were gone.

Re: Its Gone

Please dont ever put tape near a snake, the risks of scale loss or major trauma are too great.

I think it was more of a "desperate times call for desperate measures" kind of situation. But no less true, tape and snakes dont do good together.

Yup glad you found him but snakes and tape can end in death.

Check between the glass doors as they escape from there at the pet store.

Agreed!!! Baby cornsnakes are notorious for making their owners ask "how the HE// did he get through THAT"?!
