Ahhh! My first escape in years!!

So my new little hoggie is a run away

Last seen, last night.
Its been 24 hours and he is nowhere to be found.

I have hot spots with hides all over the pace
f/t pinkies and rats all over the place
flour trails all over the place

Any suggestions on where 5 inch hoggie would go is more than appreciated

The few I have had get out over the years have always been found in the bathroom.Warm and humid..just a thought.

I have my snake room pretty sealed off but he is the smallest snake I own so it is a possibility. I have checked already but i am letting the hustle and bustle calm down for a bit, maybe he will feel safe making a move. I will definitely check bathroom again though, thanks

Check the smallest, tightest, darkest places you can find

When my snake escaped he was found in my mom's sock drawer

But that was a 4 foot snake, not 5 inches

Is there carpet? Check under the edges and near baseboards. Pretty much like someone else said and any small dark place!

SpOoKy · 03-01-12, 08:19 PM

I live in a 110 year old farm house...the whole house is small dark cracks lol
Don't think he could have made it to the sock drawer
ripped up the carpet in the room, nothing.

Gawd this sucks!

thanks for the suggestions, keep em coming

Also, find out how he got out ASAP. Fix whatever made his escape possible. Do it now.

Already done...his darn little shovel head popped the tub open on the corner.

Ok glad you fixed the problem. Sounds like you need to secure that lid more. Don't underestimate the strength of the wee little ones!!

Have you searched his entire enclosure and dug up all the substrate? sometimes they can hide in the little corners and it'll appear like he's missing.

SpOoKy · 03-01-12, 08:45 PM

yeah he is im a little tub and it has been dumped out. gone

I use industrial velcro to secure tubs, they're too "easy" to escape even with latches imo

hopefully you find him

check heaters, computers, etc. they all give off heat, obviously.

if you have any reclining chairs, check inside those but be SUPER careful opening/closing them!

I am so sorry this happened and definitely empathize for you. I'm not sure what thread it was in, but someone posted about making a trap, I think it was a plastic bottle with something on top so the snake could get in but not out. I'm sorry I can't remember what the title of the thread is. Hopefully someone else can direct you to it. Best of luck to you! I hope the little guy shows up for you.
