So i hoped this day never came but i accidently fell asleep last night with my snake out and it wasn't around when i woke up

whats the craziest, most unusual place youve ever found a lost snake?? Is there anywhere specific to look and what if it went down a vent???

I just went through this a few months ago. The best way to go about it is to think of it as a great chance to clean EVRYTHING in your house. Chances are he didn't go far, so start in that room. Empty every drawer, check in every shoe, look inside bed frames. I ended up finding my lost snake in a guitar that was hanging on the wall. Good luck.

Haha thats just what i did. My apartment is suuuper clean now! I didnt find her after cleaning everything and was getting really worried so i set out a rat and laid down on my bed to think about where she could be. I felt something moving under me and pulled back the covers and there she was!! 5 hours of freedom and she had curled up next to me for some heat! Soo happy to have found her.

Id still love to hear all the spots you've all found your escaped snakes hiding over the years!

I had a Gravid Ball Python get out of her enclosure once, I will admit it wasn't as secure as it should have been, she got out and laid all her cluth in the space between my bathroom sink and the wall, so I couldn't pull her out, I had to wait for her to lay all the eggs and get hungry, then she came out for a rat and I got my eggs, this was over the course of like 3 days.

I also had another BP that would escape and come lay under my pillow, this happened like 20 times, I was a lot younger and wasn't able to stop him from escaping, smart little guy!

I'm very glad you found him though, I'm glad to hear!!
