Missing Snakes

My albino pine snake that i picked up from a reptile show recently escaped and is nowhere to be found. I have looked everywhere with no luck. EVERYWHERE. I have never been so stressed out or depressed. It is really getting to me. Any words of advice, inspiration or anything are appreciated.

How big is it? Look in dark warm and cool places and look over and over.

Keep looking and don't give up hope. I once had a ball month escape for 3 months before magically reappearing. Best wishes in your search. Keep us posted.

Don't give up! Look in beds if it's young, in between box spring and mattress, under comforters, in closest, in vents if it could fit in there. I pretty much consider my boyfriends BRB mine as well. She's about 10 months and got out and was out for 4 or so weeks. Found her angry and hungry after a trip down the laundry chute in a comforter. Keep an eye out.

My corn snake was in a baseboard heater for a month. Warm, dark places are good to check. Good luck, I know how stressful it can be.

The big spots I've found escaped snakes like to hang out are under the refrigerator, under sinks, and near their enclosure. I had quite a few escapes in my youth, parents allow me to put a lock on my bedroom door and my little sister loved to show people the reptiles. She opened up my first mangrove monitors cage and he darted out. I had put a line of sand across every door way(wooden floors) to watch his movements. After a month I didn't see any signs of activity and my parents(fed up with sand through out their house) forced me to give up. He was found 6 months later in a basket of laundry he grew from a tiny little guy to about 3 feet long I that time frame. So never give up hope it's just a matter of time.
