So my worst fear happened...

[infernalis]

At least here if one escapes now, it can't leave the reptile room, unless it's a baby garter, they can fit in the smallest of crevices.

Still no sign after today, I have checked everywhere I can think of near his tank except for a vent near the floor just outside my room door. His tank is about 2 feet from the door and the vent another 3ft or so...I'm gonna take the cover off tommorrow and try to figure out where it goes. Its for our central AC so it hasn't been on, I'm hoping he crawled in there.

I've lined the walls of my room by the floor with tin foil, given him 2 hides thermostat'd to 85ish degrees, and have turned the heat down in my room. Also have a water dish down on the floor by one hide, dehydration is what I am most worried about. Still no signs but I can't give up, thanks for all the ideas guys.

Any luck yet?

I have had 3 snakes get loose. A garter that came right to me when i opened a closet,a corn twice that was found both times. It took 2 weeks the 2nd time.And a rat that also took about 2 weeks. My wife and I tlre everything apart looking for the rat. Finally last night we found it climbing the sugar gliders cage. We use flour and tape around the walls and doors to help us.

[alessia55]

Kiljosh, have you found him yet? ptbmaniac has good advice no of us had mentioned before: put flour on the floor and see if you spot a place where he slithered over it.

[Kiljosh]

I have all carpet sadly. But no signs yet, tonight is feeding night, thawing a rat for my big guy Stubbs. I'm gonna put a pinkie in the two hide boxes again tonight, but in other rooms besides my own. Lets hope he's there tommorrow.

[alessia55]

Good luck! Lets hope he shows up overnight

It sounds like you are doing everything you can! I wish you the best of luck in finding him healthy and happy snuggled up in a pile of laundry somewhere! My BP escaped once but he managed to break a whole bunch of stuff and create quite a scene of broken glass and lamps and plants knocked over.

Hmm everybody here seems to be offering really good advice though, I'm not sure I can add much is there something crinkly you could put down instead of flour so that you could hear your snake if he was slithering around?

[Kiljosh]

Haha Wolfus, he wanted to destroy things I guess. Sounds like something mine would do, big clumsy guy.

But I lined the walls of my room with Aluminum foil and stretched out plastic shopping bags. Haven't done it anywhere else in the house because I'm almost never in those rooms to listen :/

[snake man12]

I really hope you find him soon : ]

[Wolfus_305]

mhmm he's quite the trouble maker. hmm i'm not sure what else you can do, I know that they can fit into teeny tiny spaces, space that you might not think ok, I know that my BP got almost all the way inside my printer via the paper tray. Good luck!
