I have lost my Cornsnake since 1 month after Valentine's day. Now I am missing my Kingsnake who had been missing since the day before yesterday. I have heard that snakes do not wonder far from their homes. Tonight, I am going to leave out a bait and box trap in my room, or possibly a bait and bottle trap too. But, with a house full of dogs and cats, I am afraid that either, A: The animals will find and kill my babies, or B: The animals will eat the food left out and become sick.
What do I do as an alternative after no luck of moving things around?
What I have done:- I have moved clothing, checked furniture, and looked in the vents of my bedroom.
- I have lay out a heating-pad in the middle of the floor.
- I have kept the cage open and ready for his return.
A lesson learned:
How did I loss my snakes?
I lost my corn by him slipping through a small whole on the top of the cage lid.
I lost my king by him slithering off out of my site and forgetting about him about 30 minutes. (distracted by a movie)
Some easy to find signs:
The upside to being able to find my king is that he is in his shed week and today is his feeding day (Tuesdays). Those are very helpful things on finding my snakey.
I don't know a thing about my corn and I haven't seen any snake skin anywhere. I have a feeling he has either been eaten by one of the cats or escaped outside somehow.
Extra info:
My bedroom door is always closed because cats like to get into my room. My dog, a chihuahua, has seen and messed with my snakes before and doesn't seem to mind them. She sleeps with me and practically lives in my room. I have a bundle of tall baskets with a mountain of cloths on top of them. Behind the cloth baskets is closet with boxes on boxes. Against the opposite side of the cages, I have my bed against the wall on the ground (no stands).
Is there anything I can do to find my king or both king and corn? HELP!
