Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope ya dont have any cats!, there are a couple tricks i have seen people use for loose snakes, crank up the A/C and put a spot/heat lamp on the floor in the room the snake went missing, if your floors are not carpeted then you can try covering the floor in flour some night, then when you wake up the next morn you just follow the trail to the snake, good luck

Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had never heard of the flour trick. Would make one hell of a mess, but it would be worth it.

Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a snake get out once. I don't know if the dog or one of the cats got to it. But I found it a couple weeks later decapitated under the dining room table. So he lived for a bit.

Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look in spots where you would normally think no living animal could fit and thats where you will find it. I had one get out a few years back, i put a mouse in a screen hermit crab cage in the kitchen and low and behold it brought him out from under the refrigerator. The flower trick works very well as well.

good luck

They have been known to go long periods without eating. You try the flour trick or anything?

Re: help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks. I know my baby red tail boa got out of his cage once found him in the dryar. Might check in there LoL. Maybe you can put flour EVERYWHERE just a pain to clean up in the morning. You might try laying a mouse in the floor around the flour? Just an idea I guess.
